ATLANTA — The Hawks had to finish the remainder of their eventual 143-130 victory against the Pacers on Saturday without guard Trae Young. Officials ejected Young after he launched a ball at the referee during a timeout during the third quarter.
The ejection came after Young felt frustrated after he was called for an offensive foul on a 3-point shot from the logo. Officials deemed that Young kicked his leg out as Pacers guard Aaron Nesmith attempted to close out and defend the shot.
Young fell to the ground after Nesmith made contact and immediately protested the call.
