In a loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, the 24-year-old NBA superstar accomplished something that he had yet to manage in more than 400 career games: He got ejected.
With Durant and the Thunder struggling to mount a comeback against the visiting Nets in Oklahoma City, the 3-time scoring champ took exception to a call against teammate Kendrick Perkins in the final minutes. The whistle for an illegal screen capped a fourth-quarter sequence in which the Nets had already made more free throws (16) than the Thunder had field goal attempts (15).
As he would soon make abundantly clear, Durant was not pleased with the way the game was being officiated. After that whistle against Perk, Durant let referee Danny Crawford hear all about it, earning his first technical foul of the game. As Durant kept jawing, Crawford issued a second tech, resulting in his first career ejection. Durant could be seen tossing an F-bomb at Crawford as he stormed off toward the home locker room. Needless to say, he appeared to get his money's worth.
