Harrison Barnes, an NBA basketball player with 11 years of career and who has played for three different teams, is known for never receiving a technical foul.
This situation changed on Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. In the third quarter of the game, Barnes received the ball near the basket and made a shot with Brandon Ingram trying to contest the shot.
Immediately after the basket, Barnes began shouting “f—ing and one”, protesting what he felt was an unjust no-call. A few moments later, the player received a technical foul, the third of his NBA career and the first in the last 10 years. The first two technical fouls were given to him during his rookie season in 2012-13.
The Kings eventually won the game 123-108, and Barnes finished with 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists on 5 of 11 shooting from the field. Currently, this season, he is averaging 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists for the Kings. After the victory, the Sacramento Kings are in third place in the Western Conference with 38 wins and 26 losses.
