After the dismal season last year, LeBron James really will not remember well the opening of the 19th season in his glorious career.
After sitting out several games due to injury, King James came back in defeat against Boston and tonight he played only three quarters until he was sent off for the second time in his career due to an elbow to Isaiah Stuart's face from Detroit, an elbow that caused the Pistons center to bleed and caused a major uproar. Technical offense.
Not a game he would like to remember.

This incident went away with 9 minutes left in the third quarter, 79:67 behind.
But without LeBron the Lakers exploded in the last quarter on the way to a 116: 121 victory.
This was the second dismissal in LeBron's career, when the first was in a Miami uniform in November 2017. "Everyone knows LeBron is not a dirty player," Anthony Davis said after the game, "after realizing he hit him, he realized he made a mistake and did not mean it."
Davis criticized Stuart who allegedly teased LeBron the entire game and said, "I don't know what he was trying to do. What LeBron did was unintentional. I will defend my brother. For the past 10 years, I have not seen a player behave like that."

Coach Frank Vogel also tried to protect his star and said: "LeBron got an elbow to his chest from Stuart and he tried to prevent that contact. He accidentally hit Stuart and that justified dismissal."
Stuart and James did not speak to the media after the game, with the chin needing five stitches in his face.
The one who received the most criticism in this commotion was actually Russell Westbrook, with the judges claiming that he was more trying to warm up the situation instead of calming down.
In the post-match campaign he was surprised that he got a technical foul: “Why did I get a technical?
I did not know I was getting technical.
It is interesting.
Probably because I'm Russell Westbrook.
The judges had to technically infect someone and I am the easiest person to do it for. "
