After the Lakers came back from 17 points down to beat the Nuggets 146-141 in Sunday’s season finale, Los Angeles guard Wayne Ellington took to Twitter to air grievances over a shove from Denver’s Facundo Campazzo that left Ellington injured.
Campazzo shoved Ellington in the back going after a rebound and Ellington’s head hit the leg of teammate Wenyen Gabriel. Ellington was shaken up but remained in the game.
Campazzo received a Flagrant Two foul call and was ejected from the contest. A highlight of the play in question can be seen below.
The incident within the game was one of a number of storylines coming out of the Lakers finale.
