Anthony Davis got unceremoniously tossed from Monday's tilt between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls. AD got his second technical foul late in the third quarter and it resulted in an early bath for the Lakers star.
Contentiously, the moment that led to the ejection was Davis tying his shoelaces. Yup, you read that right. Here's the sequence that led to a rather bizarre exit for the Lakers big man (h/t NBA Retweet on Twitter):

Davis got a technical foul earlier in the game and he earned a second one for what appears to be a spicy exchange with the game official.
Based on the video above, the Lakers star was merely tying his laces as the Bulls took the ball inbound. Davis seems to have taken exception to how the referee did not give him ample time to fix his footwear and it sounded like he had an unsavory message for the official. The referee was having none of it and he quickly blew his whistle for AD's second technical foul of the evening.
The Lakers were down big at that point and there was clearly a lot of frustration bottled inside of Davis. In just the second ejection in his career, AD finished with 20 points, six rebounds, and four turnovers in 28 minutes of play.
