URGENT UPDATE: Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was ejected just midway through the first quarter during a heated game against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. The incident unfolded after Kidd passionately argued with referee Scott Foster over a goaltending call involving Max Christie.
The pivotal moment occurred with 5:44 remaining in the quarter. Kidd expressed frustration after the Mavericks called a timeout, which typically initiates a coach’s challenge process. However, it was deemed that the challenge request came too late, leading to a fiery exchange with Foster.
In a swift decision, Foster issued back-to-back technical fouls, resulting in Kidd’s ejection. The Mavericks, now without their head coach, were left in the hands of assistant coach Frank Vogel, who took command for the remainder of the game.
This ejection marks a critical turning point for the Mavericks, as they strive for a competitive edge in the game and the season. Fans and players alike are left to wonder how this will impact the team’s momentum moving forward.
