Evan Turner had to watch his Boston Celtics lose in heartbreaking fashion to the Toronto Raptors from the locker room – the refs kicked Turner out after he tossed a ball at one of them in the third quarter.
Turner already had a technical foul assessed to him before he lightly flicked the rock at the official, earning an automatic ejection.
Per MassLive:
As the wing made his way off the court, he continued to run his mouth.
Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said he “got a sense” of what Turner said. […] “But you’d have to ask him,” the coach said.
Was the ejection earned? […] “I thought so,” Stevens nodded.
