Melo ejected in the game against the Celtics
Per ESPN, The Knicks have still yet to post consecutive victories this season, and played without Carmelo Anthony in the second half after he was ejected after picking up back-to-back technical fouls.
Anthony was tossed with 4:44 left in the second quarter by referee Tony Brothers. He received the first technical when he said something to Brothers following a loose ball foul call. Brothers walked away, but Anthony trailed behind and kept talking. He was then hit with the second technical. Anthony finished with 12 points and two rebounds.
"I was surprised," guard Derrick Rose said. "He was still talking quietly. I didn't get it. They have a history, I guess."
Brandon Jennings was also ejected late in the fourth quarter after receiving consecutive technical fouls.
