Amir Johnson Gets Ejected For Wrestling Ref, Then Throws His Mouthpiece At Him [Video]

Probably not the smartest move, but you can tell Toronto Raptors Amir Johnson didn’t have any ill will when he started to wrestle with referee David Jones in the third quarter of the Blazers-Raptors game.

It seemed the longer Johnson held on to the ball, the angrier Jones got until Jones finally let go and T’d Johnson up, ultimately ejecting him from the contest.

That’s when Amir Johnson really got fired up and threw his mouthpiece at the ref. Johnson is surely facing a fine for the mouthpiece toss. Check out the video below.
