Dallas Mavericks center/power forward Kristaps Porzingis was ejected from an NBA game for the first time during his playoff debut Monday night, prompting a pair of the league's legends to rip the referees for a quick whistle.
Porzingis was automatically ejected after being called for his second technical foul with 9:10 remaining in the third quarter. Dallas would go on to lose Game 1 to the LA Clippers, 118-110.
Referees gave Porzingis and Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. double technicals following a confrontation that began when Morris wrapped his arms around Luka Doncic, drawing the ire of the Dallas star.
