In a heated matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets, an intense exchange between LeBron James and Rockets head coach Ime Udoka resulted in both receiving technical fouls, leading to Udoka’s ejection with 8:35 remaining in the game.
The incident unfolded without a clear explanation of the content of the conversation that triggered the double technical fouls for James and Udoka.
James, when questioned about the incident, offered a cryptic response, stating, “Thanksgiving.” The Rockets coach didn’t reveal the conversation either.
This ejection adds to a recent trend for LeBron, who has accumulated three technical fouls in the Lakers’ last five games.
