Brooklyn Nets point guard Jarrett Jack was ejected from Wednesday night's NBA preseason game against Boston after receiving a flagrant two foul for crashing into Celtics forward Jonas Jerebko.
It happened in the second quarter after Jack fumbled the basketball and turned it over, which led to a Celtics fast break. Jared Sullinger recovered the ball at midcourt and found Jerebko heading for the basket. Jack ran back on defense to make up for his turnover, but lost his head and drove his shoulder into Jerebko, knocking him to the floor.
Jack was sent to the locker room after the referees made the call. Jack scored five points in seven minutes before being tossed.
