Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen was ejected from an NBA Cup quarterfinals game against the OKC Thunder on Wednesday.
Allen connected on a hard screen with Chet Holmgren, sending him to the floor, and officials had to break up the two teams.
Holmgren stayed in the game, unharmed by the hard foul. Allen ended his night with 10 points and four assists in 22 minutes.
OKC held a 94-58 lead over Phoenix with 5:18 left in the third quarter at the time of Allen’s ejection. The winner will advance to the semifinals, where it’ll face either the Los Angeles Lakers or the San Antonio Spurs at 8 p.m. Saturday in Las Vegas.
