Josh Smith And Royce White Got Ejected After A Scuffle At The BIG3 Opener

The Big3 kicked off its third season this weekend, and fans were treated with some fireworks right away. During a game between the Enemies and Bivouac, a heated exchange between former NBA journeyman Josh Smith and No. 1 overall BIG3 pick Royce White quickly turned ugly.

Angered by a foul call, Smith had initially directed his ire at the referees but soon got into it with White, the result of which was a brief scuffle that earned both of them ejections.

Bivouac would go on to win that game, 50-43. Both Smith and White are newcomers to the BIG3 this season. You may remember Smith as a former NBA Dunk Contestant winner who gradually fell out of the league with erratic and inconsistency after signing a max contract with the Pistons in 2013.

White was a first-round pick of the Rockets in 2012, but never played in a NBA game as he battled mental health issues.
