INDIANAPOLIS — With the Milwaukee Bucks already missing their top two scorers Sunday night against the Pacers, forward Bobby Portis was ejected in the first quarter of Game 4 after a scuffle with Indiana guard Andrew Nembhard.

Portis received a double technical foul for what officials called two hostile acts following a play on which he got tangled with Nembhard trying to gain positioning for a rebound with 5:01 remaining in the first quarter.

After Nembhard pushed Portis’ arm away, Portis shoved him back and then made contact with Nembhard’s head.

It was Portis’ first career ejection in a playoff game. He played seven minutes and scored four points on 2-of-4 shooting.

The Bucks were planning to lean more on Portis with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles injury) both out Sunday. It marked the 13th time a team has played a playoff game without its top two scorers from the regular season, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. The record for those teams, 0-12.

The Pacers lead the best-of-seven series, 2-1.
