[Saba Sports News] Zach Collins is likely facing disciplinary action after his actions during Friday night’s game.
The San Antonio Spurs forward was ejected early in the second quarter of the team’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Following his ejection with 9:07 remaining in the quarter, Collins stared down the referee and proceeded to flip him off—a move unlikely to escape consequences with cameras capturing every angle.
Collins appeared frustrated after picking up his third foul in just nine minutes of play, possibly feeling that Kings’ big man Domantas Sabonis initiated the contact. Before his ejection, Collins had logged 2 points and 2 rebounds.
Now in his fourth season with the Spurs, the former lottery pick is averaging 6 points per game this season. However, this incident will likely overshadow his recent contributions.
