DeJuan Blair Got Ejected For Kicking Opponent In The Head (VIDEO)

Mavs Player Ejected For Kick In The Head

Everything was going so well for Mavs forward DeJuan Blair in Game 4 on Monday night until he kicked Spurs center Tiago Splitter in the head. He recorded a double-double (12 points and 11 rebounds) in just 16 minutes on the court while shooting a perfect 5-for-5 from the field, helping Dallas rally back in the third quarter.

But after committing a foul on Splitter, Blair reacted by kicking him in the head and got ejected from the game.

“It was just an accident. I reacted to the call and his face happened to be down there. It was nothing intentional, especially the way I had been playing," Blair said after the Spurs' 93-89 win, via The Dallas Morning News. "I’m not that dumb to do something like that in the heat of the game when I know I changed it. It was totally an accident."
