Things got extra physical between the Charlotte Hornets and the Sacramento Kings in the finals of the NBA Summer League at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on Sunday.
With less than four minutes remaining in the third quarter, Hornets center James Banks III tried to wiggle out of the tight defense of Kings center Dylan Cardwell. He, however, smacked Cardwell in the face with his right elbow after swinging the ball.
The referees reviewed the situation and issued Banks a flagrant foul penalty 2, which automatically ejected him from the all-important game.
