Houston Rockets guard Marcus Smart threw a punch at Golden State Warriors big man Charles Bassey during Wednesday’s intense matchup, leading to an immediate flagrant 2 foul and an automatic ejection. This went down after Bassey committed a hard foul, sparking the heated exchange between the two.
Another Ejection for Smart
The moment was wild, and though the fight was broken up pretty quick, it wasn’t fast enough to stop Smart’s punch. What really hits hard here is the history: this ejection marks the *thirteenth* time Smart has been tossed from a game in his career. That’s a significant figure for any player, showing a pattern of tempers flaring a little too hot on the court. Thirteenth career ejection, man. That’s just wild to think about.
