Larry Sanders Ejected Twice in Two Weeks

FACE

Former VCU center Larry Sanders has been making headlines recently, but maybe not the kind of headlines you want as a 2nd year player looking to make your mark in the NBA. He may be trying to fire up the Bucks. Last night, during a heated matchup between the Bucks and the Pacers, Larry was called for two technical fouls after he ran over Danny Granger while playing defense in the paint. He then exchanged words with a few others, [...]

Larry Sanders got his first taste of NBA preseason action last night netting a solid 7 points in 15 minutes of play. The former Ram, known mostly for his dunking ability, was shut out from the easy buckets and instead opted for 15 and 18 foot jump shots.  Larry added two rebounds and a block to his line. Those fouls that haunted Sanders at times found their way into last nights action as well, as Larry’s eagerness to block shots [...]
