Charlotte Hornets rookie James Bouknight issued an apology after the former UConn guard was ejected during the Huskies’ win over Xavier on Saturday at Harry A. Gampel Pavilion.
Bouknight was apparently asked to leave his courtside seat after standing with his phone in his hand. A game official witnessed Bouknight stand up and promptly asked him to leave. He eventually snuck back into the game and sat in the student section.
Huskies head coach Dan Hurley said afterward that it was not an ideal situation that Bouknight was ejected but did not want to comment on the incident.
