Late in the third quarter, a free-for-all broke out near the visitors’ bench.
After seeing two Magic players mocking his failed attempt from downtown, fullback Austin Rivers landed several punches at Mo Bamba.
Youngster Jalen Suggs came to the latter’s defense by knocking Rivers to the ground, drawing the ire of ‘T-Wolves’ fans.
At the end of this scuffle, five players were expelled from the meeting. Bamba and Suggs were forced out of the game at the Magic side, while Rivers, Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince suffered the same fate at the hosts.
