The NBA has rescinded Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green's second technical foul from Thursday night's loss to the New York Knicks, a league source told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
The quick reversal does not come as a surprise given that Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the game that Ben Taylor, the game's crew chief, admitted at halftime that second-year official John Butler thought Green was yelling at him and made a mistake by giving the forward his second technical foul. Green was actually yelling at teammate James Wiseman for not being in what he thought was the right position on the floor, but Butler got confused and ejected the veteran forward.
