Kyrie Irving, a 10-year veteran, and Dennis Schroder, an eight-year vet, came into Saturday's primetime matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets having each played more than 500 career games without an ejection.
That changed for both of them in the third quarter.
The pair of point guards exchanged words after Irving was called for a personal foul on Schroder with 9 minutes, 41 seconds remaining in the third quarter and the Lakers ahead 66-62, prompting referee Zach Zarba to separate the two and issue a double technical foul -- one to each player.
