Austin Rivers was ejected last night vs. Indiana for “throwing an elbow” at Pacers guard Lance Stephenson after both players previously received double technicals. Rivers disagreed with the ejection, and upon further review, it looks like he has a fair case.
Rivers initially expressed his disagreement with the ejection on Twitter, and he continued his argument on Instagram on Thursday. Rivers posted a story showing Stephenson head-butting him before he was ejected.
“I'm cool with Lance doing all his extra stuff,” Rivers said on Instagram. “He's an irritant. Just don't throw me out for trying to get him off of me.
