Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal was ejected from Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons in the second quarter following a flagrant foul.
O'Neal was whistled for a flagrant foul two with 5:19 left in the quarter as Detroit's Rodney Stuckey went up for a layup and was thrown to the court chest-first by the 7-foot-1 big man. The play was reviewed by the officials and the call was upheld, resulting in an automatic ejection.
The 36-year-old argued vehemently with the referees before leaving the court for the locker room. He had 12 points and two rebounds before leaving.
