Things got a little heated for Ice Trae in Atlanta on Saturday.
After being upset that he drew an offensive foul call that could’ve led to a four-point play, the Hawks point guard fired a hard pass at official Scott Wall, who quickly ejected Young.

Young’s ejection began to go viral.
“Lmaooo he got ejected for a chest pass,” a user laughed.
“This is hilarious,” another said. “Trae passed the ball pretty aggressively but he wasn’t ‘throwing the ball’ at the official. NBA referees just soft.”

“On one hand, the refs are weak for this. On the other hand, I feel like he’s always whining about something,” a fan tweeted.

“This guy has become a problem! I haven’t watched a Hawks game all year, but he is involved in just about every drama imaginable, and has gotten 2 coaches fired.”
