Los Angeles Lakers guard Ronnie Price picked up one of the strangest technical fouls you will ever see during his team’s preseason game against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. It all started when his shoe popped off.
Price was dribbling the ball toward the corner when Andre Iguodala accidentally stepped on his right foot. Price’s sneaker came off, causing him to lose focus and turn the ball over. Since he couldn’t really hustle to get back on defense without his shoe, he just tossed it in front of Iguodala. Price was assessed a technical.
Lakers coach Byron Scott joked about the play after the game.
I apologize for the Cruz tweet. I didn't see that he got hurt on the play. Was outside the stadium and saw he dropped it walking to my car

This would normally be the point where we’d say Price can’t be doing stuff like that in the regular season, but what are the odds of the opportunity presenting itself again? We’ll leave that to Dwyane Wade.
