Rick Carlisle apologizes to Salah Mejri for heated exchange

Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday he apologized to Salah Mejri for his "unprofessional" and "uncalled for" reaction to the center after he was ejected Monday night.

Television cameras caught Carlisle yelling "you've got two f---ing points, get the f--- out of here" at Mejri when he approached the bench after receiving his second technical foul in Monday night's 98-75 victory over the Washington Wizards.

After Mejri was ejected, the Wizards Kelly Oubre jr. waved goodbye to him and then he was met by Carlisle's harsh words. Video of the interaction went viral on social media.
