Josh Hart’s competitive fire was certainly on full display during Tuesday’s Summer League contest.
The Los Angeles Lakers guard was assessed two technical fouls and ejected from the championship game against the Portland Trail Blazers after saying something in the fourth quarter to referee Tyler Ford that Ford did not like. Hart then appeared to call Ford a “b—h a– motherf—er.”

The Lakers were down big at the time and eventually lost the game 91-73.
As for Hart, he had just been named Summer League MVP after averaging 24.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game through the first six games. Hart was also ejected from the Summer League opener against the Sacramento Kings over two weeks ago after arguing a questionable foul call.

The 23-year-old Hart shouldn’t have too much to worry about though. His strong play this summer will almost certainly overshadow the pair of ejections and could even lead to a starting spot for the Lakers next season.
