Collin Sexton ejected from Cavs’ season finale

Collin Sexton’s third NBA season came to an early end on Sunday.

In the third quarter of the Cavs’ season finale against the Nets, Sexton was called for a flagrant 2 foul while driving against Nets forward Kevin Durant. Sexton was attacking the rim and struck Durant in the face with his elbow. Here’s the video of the foul:

Sexton 16 points on 5-11 shooting to go with 5 assists in 20 minutes on Sunday. This is a bummer of a way for Sexton to end his third season, but you can see how this call gets made with ease. His elbow came up in a way that hit Durant square in the face and it wasn’t a basketball move. Sexton would probably argue that the foul was a basketball move because he was trying to get his off arm in position to shield the ball and that the face hit was inadvertent. Still: You hit someone in the face clean, you’re probably getting ejected.
