6?3? Basketball Star Thrown Out of NBA Game After Hurling Profanity at Official; Ignites Twitter: ?Doesn?t Mean He Has a Right to Yell and Swear?

The Sacramento Kings took care of business at their home court, defeating the Utah Jazz. Even though the Kings won the game 113-121, the game surely had enough of its own drama. Some missed calls by officials led to the ejection of a Kings player, as he started yelling profanities at the officials. This led to fans losing their cool on social media.

The Sacramento Kings took charge of the game right from the first quarter down to the fourth. They did not let up for the Jazz to take the momentum of the game, which could?ve resulted in a comeback win for Utah. The win solidified the Kings’ position in the Western Conference and put a dent in Utah’s Playoff hopes.

The Kings had a comfortable nine-point lead with over 11 minutes left to play in the fourth. Sacramento got a fastbreak opportunity and Malik Monk was on the receiving end to finish the play.

Kings point guard Matthew Dellavedova ran the ball up the court and dropped a bounce pass to Monk running on the wingg. It seemed as if it was going to be an easy two points for the 6?3 shooting guard. However, Jazz center Kelly Olynyk decided to challenge Monk at the rim, hitting his arm in the process. What was appalling was the fact that there was an official right under the basket as it happened and managed to miss the call.
