‘Come on, man’: Raptors’ VanVleet ejected after second technical foul vs. Pelicans

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet was ejected from Wednesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans after receiving his second technical foul.

The 2022 all-star appeared to clap in the direction of an official and say “come on man” after a tie-up with Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado in the third quarter.

VanVleet received his first technical in the second quarter after disagreeing with an out-of-bounds call.

The ejection is the first of the seven-year NBA veteran’s career and came with the Raptors trailing 74-49.

The 28-year-old had scored two points on 1-of-8 shooting from the field and had six rebounds and six assists before being ejected.
