SAN FRANCISCO ― There’s no love lost between Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Phoenix Suns guard Dillon Brooks.
The two have a history of trash-talking and getting into shoving matches with one another. They kept that tension going during the Warriors-Suns matchup on Monday, Nov. 2.

Green committed a foul against Suns center Khaman Maluach, wrapping him up in an intentional foul before throwing him to the ground. Green was initially called for a foul and then an ensuing technical foul for shoving Maluach to the ground.
Things got spicy and Green got a visit from his old friend, or foe, Brooks. Brooks took exception to Green’s push on his teammate and ran to the pile, pushing Green.
Green retaliated as teammates, coaches and game officials had to separate the two players. Both Green and Brooks received double-technical fouls for the dust up.
It was Green’s second technical, which resulted in an automatic disqualification. Green left the game at the 10-minute mark of the third quarter. He finished the game with four points, four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 17 minutes.
