Cavaliers forward Marcus Morris Sr. was ejected from Monday night's game against the Hornets after throwing a high elbow that flattened Charlotte center Nick Richards. The incident occurred in the second quarter, resulting in a Flagrant-2 foul for Morris.
Despite the ejection, Morris expressed that his intention was not to harm Richards but rather to set a physical tone for the game. He emphasized that he was trying to prevent the Hornets from executing their plays effectively, particularly in the paint.
