Washington Wizards point guard John Wall was losing his temper abruptly in two consecutive games. He was ejected two games in a row, against Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics.
In the game against the Rockets on Nov. 7, Wall made the franchise history to lead the all-time assists leaer for the Washington with 3,826 assists, Washington Post reported.
However, after making such an important record he tainted it with an improper conduct and the Wizard lost the game 106-114. He was ejected after making second technical foul for using an inappropriate language and bumping the referee. Referee Marc Davis in his statement after the game said that there was a contact and he was sure that Wall bumped him.
“I told him to watch himself,” Davis said. “He looked over his shoulder and used vulgarity and inappropriate language and was ejected on his second technical foul.”
Wall was fined $25,000 afterward.
The 6’4” point guard received another ejection in the next game against the Celtics on Wednesday Nov. 9 at Verizon Center, Washington DC, CBS reported. This time he made a hard collision into the Celtics point guard Marcus Smart and brought him to the ground in the fourth quarter. Referees gave him Flagrant 2 foul after viewing the video.
Wall was still agitated after and he defended himself, saying that his finger was bleeding during the game because it was stepped on deliberately. He expressed his frustration that he was fouled in many times during the game but he did not get the call.
After he calmed himself down, he apologized to everybody regarding the incident. He send apology to coaches, his teammates and fans for doing such as reckless thing.
According to NBA rules, this Flagrant 2 foul in the regular season will grant him an automatic 2 game suspension. However the league has not decided whether they will warrant him another fine as well.
