Toronto Raptors forward Serge Ibaka was ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Miami Heat for throwing a punch at James Johnson.
The two were battling for position off an inbounds play when tempers flared. Ibaka gave Johnson a shove, and the Heat forward responded with a right hand.

Ibaka – who missed a game earlier this season after an altercation with a Raptors team staffer – then swung with his right before the two got in each other’s faces. Officials separated the combatants and both were ejected.
Johnson has had two previous stints with the Raptors and holds a second-degree black belt.
