Garnett was ejected from Monday's game against the Rockets in the first quarter, Tim Bontemps of the New York Post reports.

Analysis:

Garnett lasted just four minutes before getting into a scuffle with Dwight Howard under the basket. Howard appeared to bump Garnett, which led to the veteran shoving him, throwing a ball at him and subsequently headbutting him. The headbutt was the final straw, as Garnett was issued a technical and ejected. The league office will review the incident, but it seems likely Garnett is suspended at least one game.
