Milwaukee Bucks ’ Bobby Portis leaves the court after being ejected during the first half of Game 4 of the first round NBA playoff basketball series against the Indiana Pacers, Sunday, April 28, 2024, in Indianapolis.
Portis and Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard got locked up while battling for a rebound, which resulted in a brief shoving match and stoppage in play for a replay review. Portis and Nembhard were called for technical fouls for the initial shoves, and then officials assessed a second technical to Portis for slapping Nembhard in the head. Both were deemed to be hostile acts.
Milwaukee already was playing without two-time league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has sat out since April 9 because of a strained left calf, and eight-time All-Star Damian Lillard, who injured his right Achilles tendon in Friday night’s overtime loss to the Pacers.
