Kendrick Perkins slammed Warriors forward Draymond Green after the veteran’s ejection in Golden State’s 116‑113 comeback win over the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 3, 2026. While Stephen Curry praised the ejection as a spark for the team’s fifth straight victory, Perkins called Green a “liability,” noting he has contributed only four points, four rebounds, two assists and one steal this season. Curry’s 34 points and a 17‑point rally helped the Warriors (5‑3) clinch the game, and they now prepare to host the Miami Heat Thursday.
The re-signing of Gary Payton II looks even worse for the Golden State Warriors after they lost Dalen Terry to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
ESPN's Shams Charania doesn't believe Draymond Green will face additional punishment from the NBA after being ejected from Monday's 116-113 win over the Phoenix Suns in the third quarter after shoving Khaman Maluach to the ground and aggressively grabbing the jersey of Dillon Brooks.
The Oklahoma City Thunder sign former Warriors G‑League wing Dalen Terry to a two‑year deal, adding depth amid a rash of injuries. Terry, the 2022 No. 18 draft pick, has averaged modest numbers but brings 6‑foot‑6 size and defensive versatility. The move comes as Jalen Williams’ grim ankle‑fibula fracture has many writing him off for the season, though analyst Zach Lowe says a playoff return isn’t ruled out. With Cason Wallace, Chet Holmgren and others sidelined, Terry provides immediate help while Williams’ rehab could shape the Thunder’s postseason chances.
The Suns needed Dillon Brooks to get his technical tangling with Draymond Green to try and breathe some life into their already faltering season.
The Golden State Warriors still have a superstar in Stephen Curry—it's time to make the move they need to contend.

A team source tells Hoops Wire that the deal remains intact, with Porzingis still owed $23 million and only $3 million guaranteed for next season, making it a possible trade asset but not a simple buyout. Meanwhile, Draymond Green and Al Horford are filling in at center alongside Charles Bassey and Graham Ike, as the club navigates a tight cap situation—about $300K under the second‑apron hard cap—while seeking a long‑term solution.
