The departure of Kings rookie Harry Giles III following his ejection from Monday night’s 115-108 victory over the New York Knicks was just as spectacular as his obvious and unmistakable emergence over the past seven days.
Giles posted 17 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes before he was tossed out of the game for a flagrant-2 foul after landing an elbow to the head of Knicks forward Luke Kornet in the fourth quarter. Fans rose to their feet to shower Giles with a rousing ovation as he left the floor, waving his arms, high-fiving spectators and throwing his towel into the crowd.
