Lakers D'Angelo Russell and Nick Young ejected against Bucks
Los Angeles Lakers point guards D'Angelo Russell and Nick Young were ejected from Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks with 36.0 seconds left in the third quarter.
Young took exception to a hard foul from Milwaukee guard Malcolm Brogdon and pushed him after his missed layup. Russell got caught up in a minor scuffle and was ejected after receiving his second technical. Bucks forward/center Greg Monroe was also ejected after coming over and aggressively shoving Young in the neck area. While a suspension isn't likely, it wouldn't hurt to confirm Monroe's status for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors just in case.
Russell came off the bench again last night with 14 points, two assists, two rebounds and two three-pointers in 21 minutes -- good for -3.89 nERD. Monroe finished with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks in just 16 minutes, which equated to a team-leading 25.68 nERD.
