Austin Rivers 'embarrassed' after Magic-Timberwolves brawl; 5 ejected

Five players were ejected following the brawl, which started in front of the Orlando bench late in the third quarter. Minnesota guard Austin Rivers and Magic center Mo Bamba were the initial players involved, and it spilled over to include several others on the court.

Rivers, Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince were ejected from the Timberwolves. Jalen Suggs was tossed along with Bamba for Orlando, which went on to win 127-120.

"This isn’t like a cool moment for me," Rivers said after the game. "I feel embarrassed. I’m the oldest on the team. I consider myself the leader of the team, or one of the leaders of the team. It was a weird game, and I don’t think that helped at all. If anything right now, I’m just (ticked off) that we lost, and that I had (something) to do with that. It doesn’t make me feel good."

Bamba and Suggs were not available for comment after the game.

"You obviously want to have your teammate’s back and at the same time, you’ve got to be a professional," said Orlando center Moritz Wagner, also involved in a skirmish with Detroit in December.

"So, that’s a challenge for a young team like us. I think this time around we did a good job compared to last time. So, yeah, I don’t really know. It’s a weird dynamic. You don’t really want to be in those situations and it’s not really the best look. You want to be professional. At the same time, there is something in me that appreciates the team sticking together like that."

Wagner appeared to get knocked out in that fight with the Pistons in Detroit. Wagner and Detroit’s Killian Hayes and Hamadou Diallo were all ejected.

On this night, the fight began with Rivers right in front of the Magic bench as play was ongoing at the far end of the court. Bamba came off the bench and Rivers threw punches at him. Suggs later pulled Rivers away and swung him to the court. McDaniels and Prince joined the scrum.

"Their guy came off the bench and threw a punch," Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. "Pretty egregious. Then it’s a melee, and somehow our guys get punished a lot worse. One guy got sent for not being a peacekeeper. I just looked at the film, and I didn’t see any difference between what their guys were doing and what our guys were doing."

The altercation seemed to stem from talk from the Magic bench, particularly Bamba. A few moments earlier, Rivers missed a 3-point attempt in front of the Orlando bench, and Bamba and Markelle Fultz could be seen reacting to the miss.

Rivers said he approached the 7-foot, 231-pound Bamba about his comments.

"I’m not gonna snitch on the dude or whatever, but I just didn’t like the way he was talking to me," said Rivers, listed at 6-4 and 200 pounds. "For no reason, too. I don’t even know that dude. I don’t know anything about him. Obviously, I just know he’s a player for the Magic. And he proceeded to talk, so that next possession, when I went down there, I just said, pretty much, ‘Just keep it respectful, bro.’"

Rivers later added: "I went up to him and I pressed him, and at that point, it can go one of two ways. I didn’t think we were going to get in a fight. But when you stand up that fast and put your hands up — he threw a punch and missed, thankfully. At that point, I’ve got to protect myself. Ain’t no one worried about him."

Brooks swung and struck Mitchell in the groin area during the third quarter Thursday after the Grizzlies guard had fallen to the floor. Mitchell retaliated by throwing the ball at Brooks and then shoving him.

Both players were ejected from Cleveland’s 128-113 win. Afterward, Mitchell accused Brooks of being a dirty player.

The NBA announced punishments for both players Friday, with Brooks getting suspended one game without pay and Mitchell fined $20,000.

Punches thrown, 5 players ejected in mass brawl marring Magic's victory over Timberwolves

ABC7 Chicago 24/7 Stream Live streaming newscasts, breaking news, weather & original, local programming.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Five players were ejected after a fight, in which punches were thrown and almost every player on the court was involved, marred the Orlando Magic's 127-120 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, CNN reported.

The fight began at the end of the third quarter when Austin Rivers clashed with Mo Bamba, who was sitting on the Orlando bench. Both players threw punches and as they grappled, they spilled onto the court where Rivers was tackled to the floor by Jalen Suggs, several other players piled in and the referees attempted to break it up.

From the resulting melee, Rivers, Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince from the Timberwolves, as well as Bamba and Suggs from Orlando, were all ejected.

Rivers said after the game that he "just didn't like the way (Bamba) was talking" to him after he had missed a three-pointer.

"For no reason, too. I don't even know that dude. I don't know anything about him. Obviously, I just know he's a player for the Magic. And he proceeded to talk, so that next possession, when I went down there, I just said, pretty much, 'Just keep it respectful, bro. ' I'm not going to let somebody disrespect me.'"

Orlando's Markelle Fultz, who was sitting next to Bamba on the bench, told reporters afterwards that his teammate had said "nothing disrespectful or crazy."

"It was just . people talking trash when somebody shoots on the side," Fultz said, according to ESPN. "Same stuff they do on their side. I don't know if it was something that [ Rivers ] has been dealing with or something, but he got extremely mad, and that's what he chose to do to retaliate."

The Magic were already 83-73 up when the fight happened and extended their lead to a seemingly unassailable 20 points by the beginning of the fourth.

Minnesota came back to within six points but the Orlando bench, led by Cole Anthony with 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists, dragged the team to victory, adding 72 points while D'Angelo Russell contributed a game-high 29 points for the Timberwolves.
