> Houston Rockets star center Alperen Sengun expressed remorse for repeatedly calling a female referee "a b----" earlier this week, saying that he apologized immediately after the game.
> The incident, which resulted in Sengun's ejection in Wednesday's 114-93 loss to the Boston Celtics, went viral online in the following days with enhanced audio making his insult to Jenna Reneau clear.
> "That was immature by me," Sengun said, addressing the incident publicly for the first time after the Rockets' 112-106 road win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. "That was just in the moment, and I said some stuff I shouldn't say, but I felt bad about it."
> "Sometimes you can't control yourself, but I should have known better," Sengun said. "But I fixed it and then I went to the locker room and I apologized. I shake [her] hand and said that would never happen again. It just happened in the heat of the moment. Then she understood, and it was good on both ends." #sport source
