Ellington threatens Campazzo after taking hard flagrant-2 foul
Wayne Ellington has a bone to pick with Facundo Campazzo following the Denver Nuggets guard's antics during the Los Angeles Lakers' overtime victory Sunday.
Referees ejected Campazzo after assessing him a flagrant-2 foul for shoving Ellington from behind. Ellington threatened to retaliate violently in a postgame tweet directed at Campazzo.

Campazzo's antics are similar to teammate Nikola Jokic's actions earlier this season. The league suspended Jokic for one game for shoving Miami Heat forward Markieff Morris from behind in November. Morris missed more than four months due to an injury from the incident.
It's unclear whether Campazzo will be subject to further discipline with the start of the Nuggets' playoff run looming.
