Evan Turner, the once promising NBA rookie, is now a journeyman in the NBA and currently plays for the Boston Celtics.

Turner and the Celtics took on the Toronto Raptors and Evan Turner wasn't able to end the game because he tossed the ball at the ref.

Now Turner didn't exactly chuck the ball at the ref, more of a roll, but  in any case it's something you just can not do. Turner was ejected.

According to masslive.com:

But after drawing one technical foul, Turner lightly tossed the ball in the direction of the referee. The second technical came instantly. As the wing made his way off the court, he continued to run his mouth.

Stevens said he "got a sense" of what Turner said.

"But you'd have to ask him," the coach said.

Was the ejection earned?

"I thought so," Stevens nodded.
