Stephen Curry became visibly upset when Draymond Green was ejected in the first quarter of the Warriors game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.
Green, 34, was tossed early in the game after he yelled at officials while arguing a foul call on Golden State’s Andrew Wiggins.
In the NBA, a technical foul awards one penalty free-throw for the opposing team. If a player is given a second technical in the game, they are ejected.
Referee Ray Acosta initially gave Green a single technical foul, but the Warriors power forward continued yelling long enough to pick up a full ejection from the game amid a crucial stretch of games for Golden State as they fight for a spot in the playoffs.
That’s when Curry, 36, became noticeably upset on the court.
The Warriors star shook his head continuously in disbelief and his eyes appeared to water on the court. Head coach Steve Kerr put his arm around Curry on the sideline.
After his face became flushed, Curry pulled his jersey over his face in an emotional display.
Then, when he hit a game-sealing three-pointer for his team in the fourth, cameras caught Curry venting his frustration and kicking over a chair on the Warriors sideline.
