One fan said, “The league is soft,”?after LeBron James’ former teammate was ejected from Sunday’s game. The Sacramento Kings beat the Detroit Pistons by an 8-point margin, winning 137-129. Furthermore, the 24-year-old Kings’ guard Malik Monk got tossed from the game for flexing on Killian Hayes. And the NBA world on Twitter doesn’t seem impressed with the move by the referees.

Monk countered a pass and scored a two-pointer early in the fourth quarter of the Kings’ game against the Pistons. Following that, he shoved Killian Hayes, which he quickly regretted as it was counted as his second technical foul, and got him ejected from the game. Before being ejected, Monk recorded 8 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals in 19 minutes of action.

At last, Monk decided to join the Lakers on the minimum salary contract. He played one season alongside?LeBron James. During the 2021-2022 season, Monk played in 76 games and averaged 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game.
