Overview
- Green said referee J.T. Orr put a hand in his face during a second‑quarter exchange and assessed him a technical after Green objected to the gesture.
- Broadcast replays and some reports do not clearly show Orr raising a hand toward Green, creating a disputed record of the interaction.
- The technical was Green’s 10th of the season and his 209th overall, leaving him six from an automatic one‑game suspension under NBA rules.
- Green also complained about inconsistent delay‑of‑game calls, citing Ausar Thompson handling the ball after made baskets compared with a call against Stephen Curry.
- Separate reporting continues to link Golden State to a pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo, with speculation that any package could include Green and Jonathan Kuminga, and Green said he would not lose sleep if traded.
