02:49 PM ET 11.08 | Sacramento Kings rookie forward Thomas Robinson was ejected from the team's win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday for elbowing Pistons forward Jonas Jerebko in the head. The Kings' rookie will likely face a large fine and/or suspension for his action. After the game, coach Keith Smart said the ejection is exactly what Robinson needed to learn. "Now he understands I can't do that again," Smart said. "So whatever the punishment that comes from the league office, (if it's) more, that's how you learn. The stove is hot, and he put his hand on the stove and got tossed out of the game. Now he'll learn from that, and you probably won't have that happen again for the next 15 years of his career."
