Lakers star Luka Doncic was ejected during a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder after engaging in trash talk with a fan sitting courtside, not a referee. Doncic scored a layup and exchanged words with the fan, leading to a misunderstanding with a referee and his ejection. Doncic and his teammates tried to clarify the situation, but the technical foul was not rescinded. The Thunder went on to win the game after Doncic’s ejection.
In another surprising move, the Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone and General Manager Calvin Booth despite the team being in fourth place in the Western Conference. The firing came shortly after the Memphis Grizzlies dismissed their coach. Lakers coach JJ Redick expressed shock at the firings and highlighted the lack of patience in the coaching profession. Malone, who led the Nuggets to the 2023 NBA championship, is respected in the basketball community. The firings shed light on the lack of continuity and stability in the NBA.
