Somewhat hilariously, Cavs veteran Dahntay Jones got ejected from Cleveland’s Game 1 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Jones had only played for a few minutes before getting ejected and since he picked up two technicals, he will have to pay a sizable fine in relation to his salary.
But Jones doesn’t have to worry about paying the fine. LeBron James is going to take care of it.
Although, James is slightly miffed by Jones’ ejection.
