{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I think the relationship between players and referees sucks," Green said in an interview on 95.7 The Game in San Francisco. "We see that on a nightly basis. So, I don’t think that’s any surprise to anybody."
Green was ejected before halftime in a game against the New York Knicks in January, but officials would later admit that the second technical foul he received was a "mistake," according to NBC Sports Bay Area. He was also ejected in a game against the Charlotte Hornets as well.

Utah Jazz stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert slammed the referees during one of their final games before the All-Star break.
Mitchell told reporters after the game he felt the Jazz were being "screwed" and cited the "f--king ridiculous" officiating the team had been subjected to. Gobert added that he felt the league should be "ashamed" for how the games were being called.
