Four players ejected after altercation in Thunder win vs. Wizards
Four players were ejected after an altercation during a game between Oklahoma City Thunder and Washington Wizards. Thunder win behind SGA's 40 points.
Things got heated in the game between Oklahoma City Thunder and Washington Wizards as four players were ejected from the contest following an altercation just before the end of the first half. Wizards forward Anthony Gill made a floating hook shot over Thunder center Chet Holmgren with 27 seconds left in the second quarter as Oklahoma City led 68-63. After the made field goal, Thunder forward Jaylin Williams attempted to take the ball out and put it back in play, but his path was impeded by Justin Champagnie.
Williams delivered two shoulder bumps as the ball went through the net. Champagnie took exception and shoved Williams. The two exchanged words before an official stepped between them, as teammates rushed over.
Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell approached Champagnie and seemingly said something to him. Champagnie reacted with a push and slap to Mitchell's face. Mitchell went stumbling into cameramen on the baseline in an attempt to go after Champagnie.
