Harris was ejected from the game, which the Pelicans won 121-118, in the second quarter after being assessed two technical fouls.

Referee Ben Taylor called Harris for a personal foul against Jordan Crawford that Harris didn't agree with, and he shoved teammates out of the way in order to give the official a piece of his mind.

Harris is averaging just 6.4 points per game for the Mavericks this season, his lowest scoring output since his rookie season in 2004-05.
