Why was Klay Thompson ejected? What led to Warriors’ star’s first ever Career Ejection?

Klay Thompson was ejected from the Suns-Warriors game with 6:31 left in the 3rd Quarter after a spat with Devin Booker

The Golden State Warriors are in Pheonix tonight as they take on the Suns for their first road game of the season. The Warriors and the Suns each have a 2-1 record. Both teams look for their third win of the season.

So far, the Suns and the Warriors are having a very chippy game. This game doesn’t look like the 4th game of the season for each team. It looks more like a game in March/April, like both the teams are fighting for seeding.

Klay Thompson and Devin Booker were seen talking to each other since the start of the 2nd half.

The talk got louder when Draymond Green tried blocking Miles Bridges’ open layup after he stole the ball off a Green pass. That resulted in Thompson getting ejected.

During the timeout, both Klay and Booker were in each other’s faces and assessed a technical. However, even after the two were separated, Klay didn’t stop talking to Booker and the Suns’ bench. This resulted in Klay receiving his 2nd tech, and getting ejected.

The Warriors were on the receiving end of an 11-0 run since Klay got ejected. They’re down 19 right now, with the 4th quarter left. We’ll have to see if they can string a run to make a comeback and take the game in Phoenix.
