Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has said that he is willing to take the blame for his actions after his ejection just four minutes into his team’s game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old, two-time NBA champion received the 19th regular-season ejection of his career – his fourth of the season – after an exchange with official Ray Acosta on Wednesday.

Green –  initially took issue with Acosta after being whistled for a personal foul, then approached the official again after teammate Steph Curry was called for a shooting foul.

Green received a technical foul shortly after yelling at Acosta, and he was whistled for another as he continued his unsolicited commentary.

‘It just can’t happen,’ Green said Thursday on ‘The Draymond Green Show’ podcast. ‘I said what I said. I deserved to be kicked out at that point. If I’m all the way honest with y’all, kind of was trying to turn my body and angle it to go to the bench, but I said what I said a little too soon before angling my body. .. But, yeah, it just can’t happen.’

Warriors forward Draymond Green is known for provocation and losing his cool on the court
