The Warriors ended their 2025-26 NBA season with some drama on the court.

During Golden State’s 111-96 loss to the Phoenix Suns in the play-in tournament, Draymond Green and Devin Booker both were ejected with 1:04 remaining in the game.

Green provided some clarity on exactly what happened during the altercation that also involved notable NBA referee Scott Foster.

“Devin Booker told Scott Foster that I punched him in the stomach, which is a lie,” Green said on the latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show.” “Number one, I punch with a closed fist. Number two, it’s very obvious I was taking a foul. So, Scott Foster goes to review it, realizes I didn’t punch him in the stomach, and he calls an away-from-the-play foul.

“The guy was passing the ball, so I’m not sure how it’s away from the play, but I think that’s Scott Foster’s way of [saying], ‘There’s not really much here for me to call a flagrant foul or a technical foul, but I feel I need to do something.’ And so he calls it an away-from-the-play foul, which to me made absolutely no sense.”

“I was standing on the sideline, and Book was shooting a free throw,” Green stated. “And I was saying, ‘Yo Book, I punched you?’ And I kept saying, ‘So I punched you?’ and he didn’t want to answer.

“I kept asking him, and then finally he was like, ‘Man, I said I moved on, Dray. I ain’t know. I said I moved on.’ And I asked again, ‘So I punched you?’ and he got a little testy and started making some comments, so I made some comments back to him.”

Despite the incident, the Warriors forward made sure to set the record straight that there is no bad blood between him and Booker, who went to Grandville High School in Green’s home state of Michigan as a freshman.

“Make no mistake about it, Book, that’s my young fella,” Green shared. “Always has been. That relationship stems back to Book being in high school, and nothing [is] going to change that relationship.”

“That’s my little bro. Scott Foster [was] putting himself in a place where he didn’t necessarily belong. Kicking us out with one minute to go is pointless. The game is over. Our season is ending. They’re moving on, and so I really just thought he did too much in that situation.”

“He thought I was calling him a choice word, which I was not calling him,” Green added. “I was calling Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green that, who was behind him talking, but we had our conversation, and we moved on.”

With the win, the Suns have moved on to the first round of the NBA playoffs, in which they currently are facing the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

On the other hand, the Warriors have a long offseason ahead of them, full of uncertainties surrounding their coach and roster construction.
