The Warriors’ Klay Thompson and the Timberwolves’ Jaden McDaniels got tangled up at half court less than two minutes into Tuesday night’s game, and that’s when things got physical.
Gobert looked to be trying to break up the altercation when Draymond Green bounded in from a few feet away, locked the 7-foot-1 Timberwolves center in a headlock, and proceeded to drag him several feet across the court until teammates stepped in.
Gоbert wаs seen flinging his аrms in the аir аs if tо sаy, “Whаt the heck?” befоre аttempting tо reаch оut аnd grаsp his teаmmаtes’ hаnds in оrder tо pull him free while Green tightened the hоld аnd drаgged his much lаrger оppоnent аcrоss the flооr.
Following an official review of the altercation, Green was given a flagrant foul 2, while Thompson and McDaniels received two technical fouls.
For the first time in the previous 25 seasons, there were several player ejections from the game prior to a basket being made by either team.
Green was also dismissed from Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers for two technical fouls; this marks the second time in the previous three games that he has been ejected.
