WATCH: Andre Drummond Gets Ejected, Laughs His Way Off Court

Roy Hibbert isn't a fan of Andre Drummond. Nor is Drummond a fan of Hibbert.

The first fact came to light when Hibbert criticized Drummond for running his mouth too much as a rookie. The second fact was made clear tonight, when Drummond threw his left elbow toward the back of Hibbert's head during the Pistons' game versus the Charlotte Hornets.

Drummond was hit with a flagrant-2 and immediately ejected from the game. That's when things got a little strange.

As he walked off the court, Drummond was seen laughing and clapping his hands. It was seemingly his way of mocking the call. As shown in the video below, Drummond barely grazed Hibbert's head.

Whether Drummond made contact with Hibbert or not, his intent was clearly malicious. That was enough to get him tossed from the game, and it may warrant a fine to boot.

Prior to the ejection, Drummond had three points and six rebounds in 13 minutes of action.
