Goran Dragic gets tooth knocked out, tosses it towards bench (Video)
Goran Dragic finished Tuesday’s game against the Pistons with one less tooth than he started with.
During the second quarter, Dragic was being defended by Spencer Dinwiddie, who appeared to hit the Heat point guard with his right arm. The result of the contact was one of Dragic’s teeth being dislodged. Afterward he calmly tossed it towards the Heat bench.
Play continued as Dragic, along with plenty of Heat fans, wondered why no foul was called on the contact.

As Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel points out, this won’t be the first time Goran Dragic has had to have a tooth replaced.
One thing about Dragic and lost teeth, as he reminded us last season, several already are of the replacement variety.
