URGENT UPDATE: Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd was ejected just minutes into the game against the Chicago Bulls on October 28, 2023, after a heated argument with referee Scott Foster. The incident occurred with 5:44 remaining in the first quarter when Kidd protested a goaltending call involving Mavericks player Max Christie.

Fans are reacting passionately on social media, expressing their disbelief over the quick ejection and its impact on the game. As the Mavericks navigate this setback, all eyes will be on how the team responds under Vogel’s leadership.
