Trevor Booker ejected from preseason game for fight with Roy Hibbert

Honolulu • When the Jazz return to the mainland, Trevor Booker might be in line for some vacation time.

The Jazz forward was ejected from Tuesday night's preseason game against Los Angeles for taking a swipe at Lakers center Roy Hibbert and, depending on how the league office rules, could be facing fines or even a suspension.

The fracas broke out in the third quarter of Utah's 117-114 overtime win over L.A., after Booker and Lakers forward Julius Randle got tangled up on the court. Booker picked up a technical foul and Hibbert raced over to defend his teammate, bouncing Booker with his chest in the process.
