Bizarre Brawl ejects three players in opening minutes of NBA

Posted : 15 November 2023
In a highly unusual start to Tuesday's NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves, three players were ejected within the first two minutes due to a brawl. The skirmish began when the Warriors' Klay Thompson and the Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels engaged in a jersey-grabbing altercation, resulting in Thompson's jersey being torn. 

Subsequently, Draymond Green of the Warriors was dismissed for placing Minnesota center Rudy Gobert in a headlock during the scuffle. Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed his disbelief at Thompson's ejection, deeming it ridiculous, as Thompson was merely reacting to being pulled.

The chaotic incident unfolded with just one minute and 43 seconds on the clock, creating a bizarre atmosphere at the beginning of the game. Thompson and McDaniels received two technical fouls each as a consequence of their actions. 

Green, who was ejected for the second time this season, had to leave the court after intervening in the altercation. Kerr explained that the decision to send Green off was based on information from the bench, suggesting that Gobert had Thompson in his grasp, prompting Green's involvement.

Despite the early-game drama, Minnesota managed to secure their seventh consecutive victory with a narrow 104-101 win against Golden State in the NBA's In-Season Tournament. This tournament, in its inaugural season, follows a format similar to European football competitions, featuring a group stage followed by knockout rounds.
