Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder did Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic dirty in their Game 1 matchup to open the Western Conference semifinals Monday evening.

Crowder went up for what appeared to be a three-point shot in the second quarter, only to pass the ball off to teammate Deandre Ayton. In the process, he kicked Doncic.

Officials on hand in Phoenix went to review to see if this should be upgraded from a common foul. It was. Crowder found himself assessed with a Flagrant 1.

In hilarious fashion, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green also took to social media with a few emojis after he was given a Flagrant 2 and ejected in his team’s Game 1 outing against the Memphis Grizzlies Sunday afternoon.
