Pacer’s T.J. Warren is Ejected

Heat player Jimmy Butler got into a scuffle with Pacer’s player T.J. Warren.

The incident took place during the third quarter. The Heat were leading. Miami was putting the game away, when Warren fouled Butler hard during his drive to the basket.

The result was a verbal confrontation between the two players, leading to a double-technical foul call.

One play later, Butler got called for an offensive foul after pushing Warren. Warren then mocked the referees which led to his ejection.

After the incident occurred, Jimmy Butler blew him a kiss and later took to Instagram to let Warren know how ready he is for their next match up on March 20.

Both players are expected to be fined sometime soon following the game, as the NBA cracks down on confrontation. Last season, both Myles Turner and Anthony Davis were fined $15,000 for giving the middle finger.
