Dwight Howard gets ejected from the Lakers vs. Raptors game in the first half.

22 Jan

In one of the worst calls of the season Dwight Howard received a technical foul and was ejected from the Lakers vs Raptors game on Sunday. The ref appears to get overly excited about very minimal contact and issues a double technical foul. I think that ref will be embarrassed when he sees the replay. This will is one the refs simply messed up.

Either way, Howard was ejected from the game because he’d already received a technical foul for arguing a no call with the ref earlier in the game. Check out the video below and see if you can find the foul.
