In a heated moment during last night’s game against the Sacramento Kings, San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins was ejected after receiving two technical fouls. As he made his way off the court, Collins directed an obscene gesture toward the referee.
The ejection occurred early in the second quarter after Collins was called for a foul against Kings’ Domantas Sabonis. Frustrated with the call, Collins received two quick technical fouls and was automatically ejected. As he left the court, he flipped off the referee, which could lead to further penalties from the NBA.
The NBA has previously fined players for similar actions, with fines reaching up to $35,000. There is also a possibility of a suspension, depending on the league’s decision.
As you can imagine, NBA Twitter had a lot to say about the incident. Here are some of the best reactions.
