Mavericks’ Eugene Omoruyi delivered a cheap and dirty foul on an airborne Chimezie Metu of the Kings.

However, if Metu has plans of sticking around in the NBA, he cannot have the reaction that he did after he got off the ground. Both Metu and Omoruyi were ejected from a Summer League game after the push and Metu getting up to strike Omoruyi in the head.

Metu is coming off a season where he fractured his wrist last season when Jonas Valencuinas threw him to the ground.
