Steph Curry and Draymond Green have accomplished a lot together. The two have spent their entire careers together in the Bay Area.
That means that Steph Curry has been by Draymond Green’s side for all of his antics and ejections. They may starting to take a toll on the legend, as Curry got emotional following yet another Draymond Green ejection on Wednesday.
Draymond Green didn’t even last four minutes in a crucial matchup with the Orlando Magic before getting his second technical foul and being ejected from the game for arguing with an official.

C’mon, Draymond. Why are you arguing calls after having already been T’d up less than four minutes into the game? It just makes no sense.
Steph Curry was absolutely not happy about the sequence. Green already served a suspension that lasted twelve games earlier in the season following multiple altercations, with the last straw being an incident with Suns center Jusuf Nurkic. He had been behaving better for a while, but now it seems like his behavior has worsened again.
Steph Curry has known Draymond Green for 12 years and he’s watched Draymond sabotage parts of his own career for a good portion of that time.
You gotta feel for him. Draymond cannot help himself.

Here’s the thing. These aren’t the Steph-KD-Klay-Draymond Warriors. The Warriors can’t afford to have Draymond sitting out on suspension. At 37-34 heading into the Magic game, they’re just one game up on the Houston Rockets for the final play-in spot in the Western Conference. Steph knows this, and he knows his window is closing, as he’s 36 years old now.
Hopefully, Draymond Green can get it together. Right now, it’s pretty sad to see a guy like Steph Curry who has stood by him to be so emotional about an ejection.
