Klay Thompson and Draymond Green got into a fight with Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels and Golden State’s Rudy Gobert less than a minute into the first quarter of their rematch.
No punches were thrown, but it looked like McDaniels and Thompson got tangled up and were clutching onto each other’s jerseys. Gobert tried to stop the fight from breaking out, but Green got him in a headlock instead.
Green was ejected for a level 2 egregious foul, while Thompson and McDaniels were ejected for technical fouls.
