Goga Bitadze was ejected on Monday night following an altercation with Kristaps Porzingis in the Orlando Magic’s 108-104 win over the Boston Celtics.
The Magic were leading 103-93 with 3:36 left in the fourth quarter, and Bitadze and teammate Jalen Suggs had only entered the game a minute earlier. The Magic challenged a foul call that said Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had fouled Derrick White in a 3-pointer. An altercation broke out, and Porzingis was arguing with Jalen Suggs when Bitadze stepped in. Bitadze grabbed towards Porzingis’ throat before the altercation was broken up. Suggs even pushed Porzingis away.
