Angry Lakers rookie rips off Mitchell Robinson’s headband

One Laker was so frustrated during the Knicks’ 117-96 blowout win in Wednesday’s NBA Summer League game that he ripped off Mitchell Robinson’s headband and threw it at the towering center.

The odd sequence of events in the third quarter earned Lakers rookie Nick Perkins am ejection. Robinson pulled down a rebound and Perkins appeared to take a swipe at the ball but instead grabbed his headband.

It was part of a strong all-round game for Robinson, who scored 13 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and had five blocks.
