Stephen Curry found himself fighting for his life once again after Draymond Green was ejected just four minutes into the Warriors game against Orlando.
In January Draymond Green went through one of the lowest points of his NBA career. He was suspended after a string of violent UFC-type actions on the court. After attending therapy amid thoughts of retirement he returned to the time alleging he was a changed man.
However, according to ESPN, last night Steph Curry was left on his own after Draymond Was ejected four minutes into the first quarter.
This isn’t the first time Draymond has been ejected but this time Steph couldn’t hold back his emotions and appeared to be in tears. The energy from the team was different from all sides this time around.
Despite defeating the Orland Magic 101-93 Curry used his press conference to address the situation and sounded defeated.
“We need him. He knows that. We all know that,” Curry said of Green. “So whatever we need to do to keep him on the floor and be available, that’s what’s got to happen. Especially at this point in the year. It was a tough way to start the game.”
Steph wasn’t the only one disappointed in Draymond’s actions on the court. In the post-game press conference, Steve Kerr didn’t defend Draymond and admitted he deserved the ejection.
With the NBA finals right around the corner and the Warriors looking like a shell of their golden days the end could be near. Could the once-feared big three find themselves on different teams this time next year?
