Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:32:26 GMT

PHOENIX — The Warriors’ 13th loss of the season, 119-116 to the Phoenix Suns, looked similar to the rest.The Suns, playing without Kevin Durant, chipped away at a 13-point lead and pummeled the Warriors into the mud in the fourth quarter shortly after Draymond Green’s third ejection of the season on Tuesday night at Footprint Center.The Warriors had a chance to tie the game up in the final nine seconds, but Steph Curry missed the fadeaway three attempt. Golden State continues to tumble below .500, moving to 10-13 on the year.There was one bright spot. A lineup of Klay Thompson, Chris Paul, Dario Saric, Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski fueled a 15-2 run to start the second quarter. That lead was sliced down to three points at the half once starters subbed back in with Suns’ Devin Booker checking back in, too.Notably, Kerr started the second half not with his full starting five, as he usually does, but with Podziemski and Kuminga in for Andrew Wiggins an...

Draymond Green ejected after hitting Suns' Nurkic in face

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:32:26 GMT

(KRON) -- Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns after he struck Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face. The ejection was Green's third of the season. Green was attempting to get open for an inbounds pass in the third quarter when he turned around and smacked Nurkic in the face. He was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, which warrants an automatic ejection. Giants reportedly sign Korean star Jung Hoo Lee for $113 million Green served a five-game suspension this season after he put Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a headlock during a skirmish between the two teams. He was also ejected from a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in which he received two technical fouls. In the 2023-24 season, Green has played in 15 games. He was ejected from three of them and fouled out of a fourth. Draymond's play on the court has been great this season too. But the ejections are really putting Golden State in a tough spot. That...

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Jets leading scorer Kyle Connor missed Tuesday game at San Jose with a knee injury, returning to Winnipeg to be reevaluated by team doctors two days after getting hurt in a win against Anaheim.Connor will also miss Wednesday night’s game at Los Angeles, Jets coach Rick Bowness said.Connor was injured during the second period of Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Ducks when he took a knee from Anaheim defenseman Ryan Strome, who received a game misconduct on the play, but avoided a suspension.After the game, Bowness said the correct call was made against Strome.“It’s knee on knee. (Strome) sticks his knee out there and hopefully that’s suspendable,” Bowness said Sunday. “Knee on knee, there is no other way to look at that. The referees made the correct call: five-minute major, a game misconduct and we’ll see where it goes from there.”On Tuesday, Bowness stood by his original opinion.“I respectfully disagree with the league,” Bowness said. “I still think it’...
