“During the dead ball, Thompson grabs the jersey and body slams Herro,” crew chief Mark Davis said in the pool report. “Herro responds and they are both ejected for fighting fouls. Green is ejected as his actions escalated the altercation. Rozier as well is ejected as his actions were escalators to the altercation. Coach Sullivan is assessed a technical foul and ejected for his unsportsmanlike comments directed at me as I was attempting to redirect [Alperen] Şengün.” Udoka said he didn’t see the incident between Thompson and Herro live, but later watched a replay. “They were in each other’s faces, bumping chests a little bit. One guy is stronger than the other,” he said. -via New York Times / December 30, 2024
