NBA Reviewing Pistons-Timberwolves Brawl That Led to 7 Ejections

The league is expected to announce suspensions after a heated on-court altercation escalated into a mass brawl involving players, coaches, and staff.

  • The altercation began during the second quarter of the Pistons-Timberwolves game after a foul by Detroit rookie Ron Holland on Minnesota's Naz Reid escalated into a physical confrontation.
  • Five players—Isaiah Stewart, Ron Holland, Marcus Sasser, Naz Reid, and Donte DiVincenzo—and two coaches, J.B. Bickerstaff and Pablo Prigioni, were ejected from the game.
  • The brawl involved all 10 players on the court, as well as coaches and trainers, and spilled into the crowd, where Timberwolves owner Alex Rodriguez assisted a fan caught in the chaos.
  • The Pistons, already struggling with injuries, including the absence of star player Cade Cunningham, face further challenges with depleted player availability and potential suspensions.
  • The NBA is reviewing the incident, with disciplinary actions expected to be announced in the coming days, which could impact both teams' rosters and playoff hopes.
