Luka Doncic Ejected After Tiff With Fan, Confused Ref

Luka Doncic bought the boot from an essential Lakers sport Tuesday evening … as a result of an official with a fast whistle could not delineate fan trash discuss from referee chirping.

The weird scene all unfolded within the fourth quarter of L.A.’s street tilt with Oklahoma Metropolis … after Doncic hit a floater within the lane to offer his group a 108-107 lead.

After making the basket, the 26-year-old turned towards the gang and commenced mouthing off — however a ref thought the chatter was aimed toward him … and Doncic — who had been hit with a technical foul only a few minutes earlier for arguing a name — was instantly ejected.

Gamers on the ground tried to clarify the scenario to the ref … however the official wasn’t having it, and Doncic was relegated to the showers. L.A. went on to get blown out, 136-120 — and afterward, practically everybody within the Purple and Gold was perplexed by the scenario.

LeBron James appeared to chastise the ref for “taking it personal.” JJ Redick appeared exhausted in regards to the matter throughout his postgame media availability too.

As for Doncic, he was adamant the on-court discuss “had nothing to do with the ref,” and he “didn’t really understand” the scenario.
