Trae Young, star guard for the Atlanta Hawks, was ejected from the team's play-in game against the Orlando Magic in the fourth quarter after receiving two technical fouls. The first technical was issued for throwing the ball at a referee, and the second came after he kicked the ball away and did not return it to another official, an action described by referee James Williams as making a 'mockery of the game.' The ejection occurred during a game the Hawks lost 120-95, with Atlanta trailing by 20 points at the time. Young, who finished with a team-high 28 points and six assists, expressed frustration over the officiating, particularly regarding teammate Dyson Daniels, whom he felt was not receiving proper calls. The Orlando Magic played the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme as Young exited the court. With this defeat, the Hawks' season now hinges on a win-or-go-home game against the winner of the Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat matchup, where they will vie for the No. 8 seed. The Magic, securing the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference with this victory, will face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs.
