Knicks’ Bobby Portis ejected for knocking Caldwell-Pope on head

LeBron had few words for Portis

New York Knicks forward Bobby Portis was ejected in the first half of Lakers-Knicks game for hitting Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on head.

Per ESPN, “It wasn’t intentional at all,” Portis said. “I went for the ball. My intent was never to hurt anybody or anything like that. Just trying to make a play on the ball. Missed the ball and hit him in the head. My apologies to Caldwell-Pope. Happy to see him go out and do his thing, come back into the game and impact the game.”

Caldwell-Pope scored eight more points after returning.

“I was feeling great before I even came back on the court,” he said.
