During a tune-up match before the FIBA World Cup begins, Timberwolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns was ejected.
Towns, who is representing the Dominican Republic during the tournament, recently helped lead his national team past Canada in a previous scrimmage. But during a game against Spain, the three-time NBA All-Star was called for two technical fouls and was tossed from the match.
Below, you can watch the two possessions that led to the calls from the officials as well as the animated reaction from Towns that led to his dismissal from the contest. Needless to say, the former No. 1 overall pick was not at all happy.

After the ejection, the Dominican Republic ended up losing to Spain.
