MEMPHIS, Tenn -- Draymond Green was ejected with less than two minutes left in the first half of the Golden State Warriors ' first game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
As Memphis forward Brandon Clarke went up for a dunk with 1:18 left in the second quarter, Green initially made contact with Clarke's head as Green swiped down, grabbing the collar of Clarke's jersey in the process.
"My hand got caught in his jersey," Green emphatically told Warriors coach Steve Kerr. He then echoed the same exact message to the referees as they gathered to review the call.
