**San Antonio, TX** – San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins was ejected from Friday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings after receiving two technical fouls. The incident occurred in the second quarter as Collins was being substituted out. Reports indicate he continued arguing and gesturing towards referee Michael Smith even after taking his seat on the bench, leading to his ejection. Video footage shows Collins giving the referee the middle finger as he left the court.
Collins, in his fourth season with the Spurs, had a limited impact on the game before his ejection, scoring only two points with two rebounds and one assist in nine minutes of play. This marks the third consecutive game in which a Sacramento opponent has been ejected. The Spurs, playing without star Victor Wembanyama, ultimately lost the match (score not provided in original text). The team’s record now stands at 11-12. Collins, who averages 6.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game this season, expressed his displeasure with the ejection on social media, with a variety of images capturing his reaction. The Spurs next face the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.
