Trae Younger was ejected from the Atlanta Hawks’ 120-95 loss to the Orlando Magic in Tuesday night time’s play-in sport resulting from “making a mockery of the sport.”
Younger was ejected with 4:47 left within the sport after receiving two technical fouls for throwing a chest cross to a ref then kicking the ball away.
“He acquired his second unsportsmanlike technical foul for kicking the ball away and making a mockery of the sport as we have been making an attempt to shoot the free throw for the primary technical foul and by rule when the participant receives two unsportsmanlike fouls he is ejected from the sport,” mentioned referee James Williams.
The Hawks have been down 22 factors when Younger was ejected.
Younger was annoyed with a scarcity of foul calls throughout the sport. The Hawks took 34 free throws in comparison with the Magic’s 27.
“Typically after I take my frustration out on the refs it is not only for me,” Younger mentioned. “It is for my teammates. I see Dyson Daniels going; he is probably not a family title but, however he deserves the identical quantity of respect as a few of these different guys. In the event you see a foul, it is best to name a foul.”
The Hawks will play both the Bulls or the Warmth for a spot within the playoffs on Friday.Â
