Grayson Allen Ejected for Dangerous Play

Grayson Allen of the Phoenix Suns faced ejection from an NBA Cup quarter-final match following a flagrant foul 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder's Chet Holmgren. The aggressive play, which resulted in Allen pushing and throwing Holmgren to the court, occurred during the third quarter of a game the Suns were losing heavily. The crowd reacted with cheers following the review and subsequent expulsion of Allen.

Teammates Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren addressed the incident post-game. Williams acknowledged Allen's consistent history of aggressive behavior, stating he simply focused on supporting his teammate. Holmgren, who finished the game with 24 points and eight rebounds, agreed with the referee's call and emphasized moving past the incident to continue playing basketball.

Allen, a 6-foot-3 guard from Duke University, arrived in the NBA with a reputation for aggressive play, dating back to his college career. Despite past apologies and promises, his tendency for controversial actions has persisted throughout his NBA tenure, leading to numerous altercations and earning him the label of the league's 'Bad Boy'.
