Mavericks' J.J. Barea gets ejected on Thursday night
Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea was ejected from Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers after committing a flagrant 2 foul against Blake Griffin in the third quarter.
Barea shoved Griffin as Griffin set a screen, and looked to make some contact with Griffin's head -- don't expect this one to lead to any kind of suspension, and Barea should be available against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday.
Injuries have limited Barea to 26 games this season, and he has averaged 10.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 22.5 minutes per contest. He ranks 266th in the NBA with a -0.6 nERD.
