Kings rookie center Harry Giles III apologized Tuesday for throwing an inadvertent elbow that resulted in his ejection from Sacramento’s 115-108 victory over the New York Knicks on Monday night at Golden 1 Center.
Giles was whistled for a foul when he landed an elbow to the head of Knicks forward Luke Kornet in the fourth quarter. After reviewing the play, officials ruled the penalty a flagrant-2 foul, resulting in an automatic ejection for Giles. Kornet stayed in the game.
“Apologies to him and there was no bad blood in that play, just to clear the air,” Giles said.
