Kelly Oubre Jr. ejected with a flagrant 2 for impersonating the Grayson Allen play on DeAndre Hunter

Kelly Oubre Jr. this off-season signed with Charlotte Hornets after he parted ways with the Golden State Warriors in search of more play time and responsibilities. Since then Kelly has been a changed man on both the ends as he is a better offensive player and also a defensive beast as he befittingly fits in the role of key-player the Hornets need to come off the bench and get the job done.

Kelly Oubre Jr. comes off the bench and makes a perfect difference by his explosiveness and improved shooting skills. He is the last guy to think twice before going up to defense or to get a bucket as he has build his game around his explosiveness and athleticism. But in his recent game his explosiveness ruined him as he got ejected.

The Charlotte Hornets recently hosted the Atlanta Hawks at Spectrum Arena but fell short against winning the game as they had no reply for Trae Young’s offensive rally. The final Box score is 91-113 as Hawks register another win to their record. The Charlotte Hornets are currently ranked as the seventh seed in the eastern conference with the record of 26 wins and 21 losses at .553. On the other hand the Atlanta Hawks are ranked as the twelfth seed in the eastern conference with the record of 21 wins and 25 losses at .457.

In the match-up during the fourth quarter with 4 minutes and 18 seconds left to end the game Kelly Oubre Jr. was sent off back to the locker room. As he was issued a flagrant two which resulted in automatic ejection for hard fouling DeAndre Hunter as his arm bought him down even though the play looked unintentional as Kelly just tried to cut off the lead while putting in his best efforts to protect the rim and get the ball but nothing can be said as the reality stays with Kelly himself.

Kelly Oubre impersonates Grayson Allen as he hard fouls DeAndre Hunter

Grayson Allen has been the headline for the past time since a hard foul and a dirty play from his side got Alex Caruso hurt his wrist and undergo surgery which keeps him side-lined for next 4-6 weeks and the league has also suspended Grayson Allen for a game as a result for it. Kelly also somewhere as his reputation hurt since the event even though it wasn’t as intentional as what Allen did but the internet has him sitting right with Allen as they compare both the plays where both the players on the defensive end were seen pulling the player on other end down.

Kelly is someone who likes to play the game a bit more physically as we spectate him for years complaining for fouls and trying to get rid of the not so necessary technical fouls issued on him. Recently after his play on DeAndre Hunter he was issued the softest flagrant 2 ever as many fans believed but the refs are also right as contact is seen in the play. Since he was unintentional and just doing his job of protecting the rim many of his fans don’t like him getting compared with Grayson Allen.

But the Grayson Allen incident has got the officials just issue fouls on every hard play as they term it a hard foul. The fans around the globe don’t really agree with it as they feel one player’s act should not mess the whole league since everyone enjoys a bit more physicality in the game rather than soft officiating and players faking a injury after a contact.
