Washington Wizards big man Nene was ejected from Game 3 on Friday night after head-butting Chicago Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler and grabbing the back of his neck. Butler was assessed a technical foul for his role in the fracas.Nene grabbed at Butler's head, like a boxer grabbing his opponent to prepare for a big uppercut, and even appeared to ball a fist at one point. Both players were assessed technicals, but after a review Nene was disqualified for the head contact.Butler didn’t like it, so Nene got right in his face with a little headbutt and neck grab. He was ejected from the game and the league will likely review it for further discipline.
Another issue is that a few players may have come off the bench to try helping their teammates during the scrap, so the league will likely take a look at that too.
