Luka Doncic Ejected in Lakers’ Loss to Thunder After Second Technical Fouls

Lakers guard Luka Doncic was ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Thunder after picking up his second technical foul. The incident occurred when Doncic appeared to respond to a fan courtside, sparking a heated exchange that led to his ejection in the fourth quarter.

Doncic’s first technical foul came with 4:02 left in the third quarter, and he received another one later in the game for using vulgar language towards an official. Despite claiming the exchange was with a Thunder fan, Doncic has struggled with technical fouls throughout the season.

The ejection marked the second time this season Doncic has picked up two technical fouls, putting him just two away from receiving a one-game suspension. The Thunder ultimately won 136-120 to take the season series 2-1.

Doncic’s postgame comments suggested that the incident had nothing to do with the referees, but the Dallas Mavericks star will face disciplinary action for his actions on the court. Doncic has a history of engaging with fans and players from rival teams, which often leads to heated exchanges.
