Charlotte Hornets James Bouknight’s Saturday plans included watching his alma mater, UConn Huskies, play against the Xavier Musketeers. What’s not part of his plan was to get thrown out of the contest, but that’s exactly what happened when a referee showed him the red card.
It’s unknown why the Hornets rookie did or said that the referee found unamusing enough to warrant the ejection. The most hilarious part of it all was that Bouknight never left the game. Instead, he took a detour to the student section, where he continued to watch his Huskies dominate the Musketeers.
