Deandre Ayton was ejected from Game 4 after officials assessed a Flagrant 2 for an elbow to Rockets center Alperen Şengün. Ayton had 19 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes before the ejection. The incident came with the Lakers holding a 3-0 series lead, and the ejection forced Los Angeles to replace its primary rim protector midgame. His absence shifts matchups against Şengün and alters the Lakers' frontcourt rotation in a potential sweep-clinching contest.
