The Los Angeles Lakers&#8217; LeBron James was ejected from his team&#8217;s 121-116 win against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night following a play that resulted in another player having their eye cut open.
James was ejected after &#8220;striking Detroit big man Isaiah Stewart in the face while jostling for rebounding position,&#8221; ESPN <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32685986/lebron-james-bloodies-detroit-pistons-isaiah-stewart-hit-face-ejected-ensuing-tussle">reported</a>. &#8220;The hit led to a stoppage in action while Stewart, with blood streaming down his face, had to be held back multiple times by Detroit personnel as he tried to confront James.&#8221;
&#8220;The incident occurred with 9:18 remaining in the third quarter and the Lakers trailing 79-67,&#8221; the report added. &#8220;Stewart was initially whistled for a loose ball foul on the play. Following an official review, James was assessed a flagrant foul 2 and ejected, Stewart was assessed two technical fouls and ejected.&#8221;
&#8220;It was a tough play with Isaiah,&#8221; Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. &#8220;His eye got cracked all the way open, and he was upset for a reason.&#8221;

&#8220;Never seen anything remotely that dirty from LeBron James,&#8221; sports commentator Skip Bayless said. &#8220;It was the equivalent of hitting Stewart with his fist. Lotta blood. Just a shocking reaction by LeBron, who then spread his hands, moved toward Stewart like he didn&#8217;t mean it. Stewart wasn&#8217;t having it. Can&#8217;t blame him.&#8221;
James is often in the news for controversial political statements that he makes while off the court, including a couple of recent incidents.
“What tears????? I didn’t see one,” James <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lebron-mocks-rittenhouses-tears-that-boy-ate-some-lemon-heads-before-walking-into-court">tweeted</a> earlier this month while mocking Kyle Rittenhouse during Rittenhouse&#8217;s trial. “Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court.”
Notable <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lebron-james-blasted-after-mocking-kyle-rittenhouse-you-cried-because-you-got-a-cramp">responses</a> to James’ tweet included:
<ul>
<li>Ben Shapiro, The Daily Wire: “Lebron, great defender of the Chinese government’s tyranny, also happens to be an unparalleled dumpster fire in the field of criminal justice.”</li>
<li>Stephen Miller, political commentator: “He’s crying because he had to shoot someone and take a life in self defense. You cried because you got a cramp.”</li>
<li>Rita Panahi, Australian political commentator: “Figured out what’s happening in Hong Kong yet? Or to the Uyghurs in Chinese concentration camps? Didn’t think so.”</li>
</ul>
James also recently dismissed criticism from Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter over James&#8217; lack of criticism over the atrocities committed by the communist Chinese government.
“Money over Morals for the ‘King’ Crown. Sad &amp; disgusting how these athletes pretend they care about social justice,” Kanter said, referring to James. “They really do ‘shut up &amp; dribble’ when Big Boss [Flag of China] says so. Did you educate yourself about the slave labor that made your shoes or is that not part of your research?”
On one of Kanter&#8217;s shoes, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hes-definitely-not-someone-i-would-give-my-energy-to-lebron-james-on-enes-kanters-criticism">James was seen kneeling while a crown</a> was placed on his head by what appeared to be an illustration of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
James was later asked about the shoes, to which James responded, &#8220;No, I think if you know me, I don’t really give too many people my energy.&#8221;
“He’s definitely not someone I would give my energy to. [He’s] trying to use my name to create an opportunity for himself. Definitely won’t comment too much on that,&#8221; James said. “He’s always had a word or two to say in my direction, and as a man, if you’ve got an issue with somebody, you really come up to him. He had his opportunity tonight. I seen him in the hallway, and he walked right by me.”
