Draymond Green saw his Tuesday night come to a premature end. Green, in his latest ejection from an NBA game this season, caught Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic with a wild right hand during the third quarter of action as the Golden State Warriors held a 65-60 lead.

Nurkic was tasked with defending Green, and the two got tangled up while Green looked like he was trying to establish position. Something upset the Warriors star, so he spun around and extended his right arm, which caught the side of Nurkic’s head and sent the big man to the ground.

Play stopped immediately after this, with the officials going over to the monitor and taking a look at the whole thing. It didn’t take long for a decision to come down, as Green was hit with a Flagrant 2 and immediately ejected from the game. And as Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN pointed out, the possibility exists for the league to punish Green further — Green has already been given a 5-game suspension this season by the NBA for putting Rudy Gobert in a sleeper hold during a game.

At the time of his ejection, Green had two points on 1-for-3 shooting with two rebounds and two assists.

Andre Braugher died on Monday after a short illness. News of his passing wasn’t made available until the following day, prompting an avalanche of tributes to the acclaimed, Emmy-winning actor, who starred on two very different cop shows: the gritty drama Homicide: Life on the Street and the comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He was brilliant on both, and in much else besides, and when people learned of his death, they made sure people knew that.

Among those who mourned Braugher were some of his colleagues. That includes Terry Crews, his fellow Brooklyn Nine-Nine alum.

“Can’t believe you’re gone so soon. I’m honored to have known you, laughed with you, worked with you and shared 8 glorious years watching your irreplaceable talent,” Crews wrote. “This hurts. You left us too soon. You taught me so much. I will be forever grateful for the experience of knowing you.”

Marc Evan Johnson, who played his character’s husband on Nine-Nine, shared a photo of them together on set.

David Simon, who wrote the book Homicide is based on, and which he wrote for, also paid tribute. “Andre Braugher. God,” Simon wrote. “I’ve worked with a lot of wonderful actors. I’ll never work with one better. Stunned and thinking of Ami and his sons and so many memories of this good man that are now a blessing. But too damn soon.”

Fans of Braugher also paid tribute.

Many shared clips of his storied work, including his first appearance as Detective Frank Pemberton on Homicide, which started his seven-year run off with a bang.

And of course, there were lots of Brooklyn Nine-Nine shares, showing he could bring both the yuks and some unexpected gravitas.

Rest in peace, Andre Braugher.

Mathew Knowles, music manager and father of Beyoncé and Solange, is venturing into television. Variety is reporting that his 2017 memoir Racism From The Eyes Of A Child, will be adapted into both a feature film and limited series.

The show and film will arrive by way of a partnership between Knowles and Say Unkel Entertainment. According to Variety, the film will cover the first half of the book, detailing Knowles’ childhood in Alabama in the early ’60s. During this time, the race riots took place in Alabama, and Knowles was one of six black students at an all-white school. In the book, Knowles details his participation in peaceful protests, and recalls being burnt with a cattle prod, as well as getting arrested four times in one day.

The book also covers Knowles and his admiration for key figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Turner, and Ralph Abernathy. Knowles also details his father and his mother, the latter of whom was a classmate of Coretta Scott King.

“These are the men who made me proud and women who taught me to fight back,” Knowles said.

In Beyoncé’s Renaissance documentary, Bey also shares brief anecdotes about her father’s Alabama upbringing, which was also noted on her 2016 single, “Formation.”

On Tuesday it was revealed that Andre Braugher, beloved and award-winning thespian, has died after a short illness. He was 61.

Braugher had a storied and diverse career, spanning stage and screen, both big and small. He’s best known, though, for two cop shows, each very different from the other. The first is Homicide: Life on the Streets, the gritty procedural about the Baltimore Police Department, which catapulted him to fame an Emmy. The other is Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a comedy in which he brought the same level of intensity as he had on Homicide, holding his own with seasoned comics like Andy Samberg, Joe Lo Truglio, and Terry Crews.

A graduate of Stanford and Juilliard, Braugher got his start with a meaty role in 1989’s Civil War drama Glory, in which he played an educated freed slave who joins the Union’s all-black regiment.

It was his turn as Detective Frank Pemberton across seven seasons of Homicide that made him a staple of film and TV. He had always welcome supporting roles in Primal Fear with Richard Gere and Edward Norton, in Spike Lee’s Get on the Bus, in City of Angels and Frequency and Poseidon. His last film was She Said, which documented the New York Times investigation that uncovered the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

On TV he appeared in the WWII movie The Tuskegee Airmen, on the TNT drama Men of a Certain Age, and made appearances on the likes of House, New Girl, BoJack Horseman, and The Good Fight. He reprised Pemberton on Law & Order, as his Homicide costar Richard Belzer did.

Braugher also had one of the great voices.

That Braugher was on two big cop shows does not mean he was necessarily pro-cop. Brooklyn Nine-Nine headed into its eighth and final season in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, when a comedy about police no longer seemed so funny. Braugher addressed the “new challenge” facing the show, which had to find a way to tell jokes without parroting false ideas.

“It’s a very complicated subject, but I think they have to be portrayed much more realistically, in terms of this: The convention… that police breaking the law is okay because somehow it’s in the service of some greater good, is a myth that needs to be destroyed,” he told Entertainment Weekly at the time.

Braugher left behind a vast body of work that will be studied and shared for time immemorial. We leave you with some of his most beautiful line readings, of too many to count, from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. RIP to a legend.
