The Syracuse guard who hails from Prince George's County was ejected from the Saturday, Nov. 26 game against Bryant University apparently after slapping another player — who slapped him right back.
It began with 7:35 left in the first half when the freshman guard appeared to slap Bryant's Doug Edert, who returned the gesture, hitting Mintz from behind on the side of his head.
Edert, a St. Peter's NCAA Tournament star, and Mintz were ejected from the game, which only heated up after that. A total of six more players and coaches were ejected later on.
The game ultimately was an upset with Bryant in the lead, 73-72.
Mintz played for Oak Hill Academy for the 2021-22 season, earning Second Team All-National Interscholastic Basketball Conference (NIBC) honors.
