The Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the 2026 NBA Playoffs after a defeat to the Phoenix Suns in the play-in tournament, finishing the season with a disappointing 37-45 record. Draymond Green's season ended dramatically when he was ejected for punching Devin Booker in the chest during the final moments of the game. This incident highlighted Green's volatile nature, as he had previously excelled defensively against Kawhi Leonard in the tournament's first game. With the Warriors now entering the lottery with an 11th place finish and a 9.4% chance at a top-4 pick, the franchise faces significant questions about its future, including the status of head coach Steve Kerr and potential roster changes. As the team looks to rebuild around veteran star Stephen Curry, Green's antics serve as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the Warriors' current situation.
