Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected for the third time this season during the 119-116 defeat by the Phoenix Suns.
Green, 33, swung an arm in the face of Suns centre Jusuf Nurkic and sent him to the floor during the third quarter.
The referees reviewed the incident and ruled it a flagrant foul 2, which leads to an automatic ejection.
