Luguentz Dort Ejected for Flagrant 2 Foul Against Nikola Jokic

Luguentz Dort was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Nuggets. He finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 28 minutes for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The ejection stemmed from unnecessary and excessive contact with Nikola Jokic, as Dort tripped the three-time MVP and made contact near his right knee. Alex Caruso and Jared McCain are expected to help pick up the slack in his absence.
