GSW Star shooting guard Klay Thompson was ejected for the first time in his long NBA career in the Golden State Warriors' tempestuous 134-105 defeat to the Phoenix Suns on October 25. Thompson is seen here receiving two technical fouls and being ejected.

“Klay’s frustrated that he can’t play more right now,” Kerr acknowledged before the Warriors and Suns tipped off. “He’d like to have his minutes bumped up but the reality is as you get a little older, as a player when you’ve had some injuries is you gotta be a little more patient.”

That annoyance, most likely heightened by another poor performance and plenty of talking by Devin Booker, resulted in an unprecedented blowup for Thompson, who received his first career ejection in Tuesday night’s 134-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
