One month and three days after being ejected against the Atlanta Hawks for spiking the ball on a tumbling Onyeka Okongwu, Desmond Bane struck again, this time firing a fastball into a fallen OG Anunoby.
Bane clearly did not need to throw the ball at Anunoby, despite his protest when the referees gave him a technical foul after video review. He even took a slight crow hop to gather stability before launching the ball at Anunoby’s shoulder so hard that the ball flew above the rim. Anunoby wasn’t mad after the play. He was just confused as to why Bane would do such a thing when he could have made a basketball play.
