Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas was ejected less than two minutes into Washington’s game against the Trail Blazers on Friday night for pushing an official. Thomas had gotten tied up by Portland’s Carmelo Anthony and appeared to stumble into official Marat Kogut. Did Thomas really deserve to be ejected by Kogut? Thomas had brought the ball up court along the right sideline while defended by Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard. “It was definitely just a push during the dead ball contact with the referee.”AdvertisementWizards coach Scott Brooks thought the contact was accidental.
