SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Phoenix Suns forward Richaun Holmes was ejected from the game after receiving two quick technical fouls while protesting a call during a game against the Utah Jazz.
Holmes was called for a loose ball foul near the end of the second quarter and immediately let referee Kane Fitzgerald know of his displeasure with the call. Fitzgerald, known for having a quick whistle, wasn’t having it and almost immediately gave Holmes a technical.

That didn’t stop Holmes from talking and he was soon given another technical and thereby ejected from the game.
The game was well within the Jazz’s control at that point, as they led 59-43 at the time of the ejection.
Holmes had two points, three rebounds and two blocks in the game.
