Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green’s pockets will be a little lighter after the NBA fined him a dizzying amount of money for his antics during a 125-105 loss at home to the Oklahoma City Thunder last Tuesday, according to Chris Haynes of ESPN.

Golden State forward Draymond Green has been fined $50,000 for directing inappropriate language toward a game official.

Green was ejected out of the Thunder game with just a little over eight minutes remaining in regulation after tossing the ball towards referee Marat Kogut’s direction, earning his second technical foul of the night. Green got his first technical foul in the second quarter, when he argued with female referee Lauren Holtkamp late in the first half after getting his mouth bloodied due to contact with Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, though, neither player was assessed a foul. Green was observed to have used profanities in speaking with Kogut.

Here’s a video that seemingly shows Draymond Green hurling profane insults at Holtkamp, as he was being calmed down by some of his Warriors teammates and coaches.

Green prematurely left that game with only five points but had eight rebounds, seven assists, and four blocks in 31 minutes of action.

For those keeping count, Green leads the entire NBA in technical fouls this season with 13 to go with three ejections. Green’s teammate, 2017 NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant, is right behind with 11 technical fouls, tied for second with Dwight Howard and Westbrook.

Green is averaging 11.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game this season.
