Matthew Dellavedova was rightfully ejected for a foul up around the head area of Bradley Beal on Saturday.
During the fourth quarter of the Wizards-Bucks game, Beal received the ball on the wing and was headed towards the basket when he was nearly clotheslined by Dellavedova. Not surprisingly, Beal took exception to the play and immediately got up and had a few words for Dellavedova. Beal was joined by several of his teammates.
You can see the play below.

Dellavedova was correctly assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected from the game.
Flagrant 2. Delly is ejected. Shakes his head before he's vociferously booed on the way out.

Dellavedova has gained a bit of a lousy reputation around the NBA for plays such as this. They’ve helped him earn this nickname from the announcer of one team.
