That prompted Kuminga to talk to and pursue referee Rodney Mott, leading to a technical foul and his ejection.<\/p>\n<p>He had seven points, six rebounds and four assists in 18 minutes before being disqualified. <\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists last season while playing 24.3 minutes a night.
