Indiana Pacers star Paul George was ejected from an NBA game for the first time in his seven-year career on Saturday night, after he kicked a ball into the stands and the ball drilled a fan in the face.
This isn’t the first time a basketball has gone into the stands and it won’t be the last, but the outburst of emotions was enough for the referee to throw George out of the game:
George not knowing what to do after being thrown out makes him look all the more innocent. The poor guy didn’t know what he was doing!
After the game, George blamed the ejection on his poor soccer skills:

The Pacers are off to a middling start, and they’ll need their best player to be on the floor as much as possible this season. Just make sure to keep the basketball far away from his feet.
