WATCH: Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic ejected vs. Pacers after kicking basketball, earning second technical foul

Dallas Mavericks rookie and rising star Luka Doncic was ejected for the first time in his NBA career Saturday night after receiving a second technical foul vs. the Indiana Pacers.

Doncic, with Dallas trailing Indiana by double-digits in the third quarter, was called for a second technical foul -- and subsequently ejected from the game -- upon kicking the basketball after the whistle.

Doncic just got his second tech and has been ejected. Looked like he punched or kicked the ball after that last foul call.

This was what warranted the second tech on Luka Doncic & his ejection.
