WASHINGTON -- Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr. was ejected after shoving Boston Celtics big man Kelly Olynyk in the second quarter of Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Thursday.
After Olynyk got whistled for an offensive foul for an illegal screen that left Oubre on the court, Oubre jumped up and rushed at Olynyk and shoved him as Olynyk argued the original call to a nearby referee.
Oubre reached across referee Monty McCutchen to deliver the shove that knocked Olynyk onto the floor. Oubre continued barking at Olynyk as McCutchen held him back before teammates separated the two players.
Oubre was assessed a flagrant 2 and ejected from the game.
The two players were immediately separated by players and security after the Oubre shove. Fans inside the Verizon Center chanted Oubre's name as the referees reviewed the video.
The league reviews all flagrant fouls, and Oubre could face a suspension or fine for his actions.
Oubre's incident with Olynyk came after Washington's Ian Mahinmi got into a brief scuffle with Jonas Jerebko of the Celtics. Both players received technical fouls for their involvement.
Prior to Thursday's Game 3, Wizards stars John Wall and Bradley Beal both talked about being more physical in their series against Boston.
"We get fouled a lot but it's the playoffs," Beal said. "We can't complain, can't be passive. We gotta push back."
