NBA Star Thrown Out of Warriors vs Mavericks After Hefty Elbow to the Face of Stephen Curry’s 23-Year-Old Teammate
Follow Us
It is unfortunate that a 23-year-old teammate of Stephen Curry has had his face be the talk of the town from the beginning of the season. Draymond Green first punched Jordan Poole’s face due to an altercation between the two. Furthermore, the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks saw his face getting the raw end of the deal… again.
The Warriors’ shooting guard fell to the ground during the second half of the game, after getting elbowed in the face by the Mavericks’ Spencer Dinwiddie. The latter got a Flagrant 2 and was subsequently ejected from the game.

However, the hefty elbow arguably didn’t seem deliberate, as the two players were visibly dapping even as Dinwiddie left the court.

While the referees stuck by their flagrant foul call, there were many who did not agree with the decision.
Spencer Dinwiddie has been averaging 17.1 points per game so far this season. Meanwhile, Jordan Poole has been in a bit of a slump lately with regard to his shooting. Nevertheless, Steve Kerr, head coach of the Warriors, praised Poole. “When Jordan is engaged and alert, he can be one of our best defenders”.
When news cropped up about his contract extension, he spoke about how it motivated him further to do better in the game. He is reportedly also in the All-Star consideration. For that, he would possibly have to average around 22 points per game.
