Doncic, Kidd ejected in Mavericks loss to Timberwolves

With two minutes left in the third quarter and Dallas trailing the Timberwolves 85–69, referee Rodney Mott issued two technicals to Mavericks guard Luka Dončić.

Dončić expressed his anger to Mott after airballing a turnaround jumper on which he believed he was fouled by Minnesota forward Jaden McDaniels. As he was walking away from Mott, the 24-year veteran threw him out of the game.

Taking the court to plead Dončić's case, Dallas coach Jason Kidd was also ejected for just the second time in his Mavericks tenure.
