Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton was ejected from a game against the Toronto Raptors after throwing the ball into the stands.
With just under nine minutes left in the second quarter, Claxton was fouled by Raptors center Kelly Olynyk. Frustrated by a call on the possession prior, Claxton casually hucked the ball into the Scotiabank Arena stands. This resulted in an ejection after just 11 minutes, during which he scored seven points and pulled down five rebounds. As he made his way to the locker room, it appeared Claxton considered tossing another object before being calmed down and escorted out.
Claxton, 25, is averaging 9.6 points and 7.6 rebounds in 25.3 minutes per game this season. His team has struggled to find a rhythm, however; Brooklyn's 10-16 record has the team sitting at 11th in the Eastern Conference
