Another one bites the dust.
Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton did not agree with a call against Kyle Kuzma, so he voiced his displeasure to officials and received a technical foul Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
He kept jawing - and appeared to drop at least one f-bomb - and earned another tech and automatic ejection, joining Isaiah Thomas, who was booted late in the first quarter for getting chippy with Rajon Rondo.
Kuzma was also hit with a tech.
NBA players are set to meet with officials during All-Star weekend in L.A. to discuss and address the growing tensions between the sides.
