On Sunday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns are facing off in Palm Springs, California.

The Lakers are playing their second preseason game, while this is the first time the Suns have stepped on the floor this season.

Most preseason games do not get a lot of attention, but the fact that LeBron and Bronny James made history got a lot of eyes on the contest.

During the second half, a fan got ejected from the game.

Via Dan Woike of The Los Angeles Times: "Action stops as a fan is ejected for trying to shoot the ball from behind the basket. After a delay (including LeBron playfully signaling for him to be tossed) the fan resisted as security tried to get him out of the building"

Via Lauren Jones of The Sporting Tribune: "I don’t think I’ve ever seen this during a preseason game. A fan taunted the ref and refused to give him the ball back, so he was thrown out of the game. Even LeBron got up and gestured for him to be removed."
