Major Ejections Kickstart NBA In-Season Tournament Game
Key Players Ejected Seconds Into Game
In a shocking twist to Tuesday night’s in-season tournament game between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves, superstars Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Jaden McDaniels were ejected just about 100 seconds into the game.
Incident Leading to Ejections
- As both Thompson and McDaniels were running down the court, they got tangled up, leading to McDaniels ripping Thompson’s jersey, which then led Thompson to swing his arm at McDaniels.
- In a bold move, Green attempted to separate the fighting players leading him to put Rudy Gobert in a headlock.
Ejection Consequence
- Two technical fouls were handed to both McDaniels and Thompson whereas Green was given a flagrant foul 2.
- This incident marks the first game in 25 years to have multiple players ejected before either team had a chance to score.
Green’s Second Ejection
The incident follows a prior ejection of Draymond Green from the previous Saturday’s game, marking his second ejection in a matter of days.
