Knecht was tossed from the game with a few minutes remaining in the fourth quarter after arguing with an official. His departure had no impact on the result of the matchup, as the Lakers jumped out to a huge lead and were in command well before the final period.

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht was ejected during Thursday night's game against the Washington Wizards, seemingly for arguing with a referee over what the guard believed to be a missed call on a three-point shot.

Knecht notched 24 points (8-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and five rebounds across 23 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the 76ers. The rookie wing put together his best scoring effort since he erupted for 37 points against the Jazz on Nov.
