Draymond Green punched Devin Booker and crashed out in wild ejection in Warriors’ elimination game

Draymond Green is still acting like Draymond Green.

The 2026 NBA Playoffs are finally set , and they won’t include the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors won their first game in the play-in tournament, but they failed in their bid to grab the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference on Friday night in a defeat to the Phoenix Suns.

Golden State now has to pray for lottery luck after finishing 37-45 overall. The organization enters the lottery in 11th place with a 9. 4 percent chance at a top-4 pick and a two percent chance at the No.

1 pick. The Warriors’ loss forces a lot of uncomfortable questions on the franchise. Will Steve Kerr be the coach next season?

Can they actually build a good team around Stephen Curry at age-38? Every player on the roster will have to be evaluated, and you can bet the Warriors will at least be mentioned as a possible trade suitor for Giannis Antetokounmpo . As some things about the Warriors may start to change, at least Golden State has a constant in Draymond Green.
