Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker was tossed from Wednesday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs after picking up a pair of technical fouls, the second of which came in the third quarter as he took issue with a punishing screen from Spurs big man LaMarcus Aldridge.
Walker was incredibly fired up afterwards, prompting Celtics head coach Brad Stevens to also lose his cool due to the nature of the ejection.

The aftermath of the ejection saw a fan throw a drink onto the floor, causing a brief delay in the game between the two teams.
Walker scored just six points across 18 minutes before being forced to exit. The Celtics were not able to recover from his absence, as they fell at home for just the third time this season, with the Spurs picking up the 129-114 victory.
It's unlikely that Walker will face any kind of extended discipline from the NBA for his role in the incident, with his short night Wednesday likely paving the way for a full workload on Thursday when the Celtics face the rival Philadelphia 76ers in a pivotal matchup.
