Draymond Green already hit a technical foul 3 minutes into the Nets game

It didn’t take long Draymond Green to get a technical foul during Golden State Warriors vs. Brooklyn Nets match on Monday night.

Green has had a knack for technical fouls and flagrant fouls throughout his career as the Warriors’ defensive enforcer. He has accumulated three technical fouls this season while trying to avoid too many suspensions.

Unfortunately, he received his fourth technical foul season during Golden State’s match against Brooklyn. What stands out about it is that it happened three minutes into the game when Green shoved Nicholas Claxton to the floor.
