Pacers-Nets: Kevin Durant Shouldn't Have Been Allowed To Finish The Game And Should Have Been Thrown Out For Doing This

Kevin Durant threw a ball into the stands during the game between the Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets and was not ejected.

During the game between the Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets on Friday evening, Kevin Durant threw the basketball all the way into the stands (see clip below from the Action Network on Twitter). 

Durant was given a technical foul for the action, but he actually should have been thrown out of the game. 

The NBA Official Twitter account released a statement on the play, and admitted he should have been thrown out for what he did based on the NBA's rulebook (see tweet below), and read their report here.

Durant finished the game with 22 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and the Nets beat the Pacers 105-98.

  • Enes Kanter And Myles Turner Get The Same 2k Ranking: Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers got the same rating in NBA 2k22 as Enes Kanter of the Boston Celtics. The two centers getting the same ranking comes as a surprise. Turner is one of the best defenders in the NBA, and while Kanter had a productive season, he is not on the same level as Turner.

  • Opinion: The Pacers Should Look At Harry Giles: The former Duke star was once ranked as the best player in the country in high school by ESPN. After several injuries, he never hit stardom as everyone had anticipated. However, he is still just 23-years-old and could for sure help many NBA teams, including the Pacers. CLICK HERE.
  • NBA Central Division Notebook: NBA 2k22 gave Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors the same ranking (96 overall) as Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. Even though Antetokounmpo just won the NBA Finals MVP, is he actually a better player than Curry? CLICK HERE.
