The Kings had one technical foul called over the last 25 games of last season, on Georgios Papagiannis in a game against the Phoenix Suns.
Papagiannis picked up his first technical foul of summer league Friday night with 4:19 left in the second quarter for a shove to Phoenix forward Josh Jackson after a play in which Malachi Richardson was fouled and landed hard on the floor.
So don’t tell Papagiannis that he’s supposed to take it easy because it’s summer league. He might not play a lot in the regular season, but when he does play, he’ll be physical and won’t allow his teammates to get pushed around.
