Bucks’ Bobby Portis Jr. ejected against Pacers after ugly fracas
NY Post
Already down two of their stars, Bucks forward Bobby Portis Jr. got himself tossed from their Game 4 loss, 126-113, to the Pacers in the first quarter on Sunday.
Portis mixed it up with Andrew Nembhard under the basket after the whistle and it led to the two shoving one another before they were separated during their Eastern Conference first-round series at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The two got tangled up and then it appeared that Nembhard may have shoved Portis first, which led to the retaliatory shove and swipe by Portis at Nembhard’s head with 5:01 left in the first quarter.
The Bucks had been down 17-16 to the Pacers at the time of the incident.
The first quarter ended with Milwaukee and Indiana tied at 33.
Portis was sent to the locker room for the rest of the night for hitting Nembhard above the neck, while Nembhard was only given one technical.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.
