Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is in trouble again. After being ejected from Monday's narrow 110-108 loss against the San Antonio Spurs, the four-time All-Star is now being fined by the NBA for directing profanity at a game official.
The league announced on Tuesday that Green has been slapped with a hefty $25,000 fine for his actions (h/t NBA Communications):

That's a lot of money, even for Draymond Green. The NBA has been stringent in enforcing its policies about players interacting with referees and Green was deemed in violation of certain rules here.

It appears that the game official even gave Green a warning as the Warriors forward was screaming at him. Green did not heed the cautionary message and it resulted in his ejection.
Green's early exit was a big loss for the Warriors, who were also without Stephen Curry in this one. Without two of their best players on the roster, Golden State ended up losing a nail-biter against the Spurs.
