Eddie House predicts more ejections for Jayson Tatum, says referees don’t respect him

Jayson Tatum picked up the first ejection of his NBA career during Monday night’s loss against the Knicks.

Former Celtics guard turned broadcaster Eddie House thinks it won’t be his last.

“I tell you this, it won’t be his last [ejection] because he doesn’t get the respect from the referees as the player that he is. You know, superstar status,” House said on NBC Sports Boston’s Celtics Postgame Live.

The Celtics were down by double-digits late in the fourth quarter when Tatum got thrown out of the game.

New York’s Julius Randle smacked Tatum’s hand on a contested three-point shot and the referee didn’t call a foul.
