Mitchell was fined $20,000, while Brooks received a one-game suspension without pay.
“This isn’t new. This isn’t just a Donovan thing,” Mitchell explained. “This has happened to other players throughout this league. And it’s bulls---. It’s complete bulls---. They talk s--- and that’s fine. That’s all part of basketball. We all grew up playing that way. But when you start doing little cheap s--- like that, that ain’t it.
“I’m not typically someone who gets ejected for stuff like that. But at the end of the day, I think my reaction was reacting to a cheap shot. If punishment doesn’t come from that, he’s just going to keep doing it. It’s just dumb to be honest with you and I’m going to appeal it because I don’t think I should’ve gotten ejected for defending myself.”
Thursday night was Mitchell’s second career ejection. There’s no word on whether he has filed an official appeal at this point.
