The Washington Wizards have been more than holding their own against the defending champion Warriors on Friday night, and late in the second half, frustrations boiled over between Draymond Green and Bradley Beal and nearly erupted into a massive brawl involving several players on both sides.

Both were ejected in the immediate aftermath, and fines and/or suspensions could potentially be forthcoming when the league takes a closer look. After Green blocked Beal’s shot earlier in that possession, the two got tangled up and appeared to exchange words before wrestling one another to the court on the baseline behind the basket.
Kelly Oubre Jr., who’s curried something of a reputation for himself as a hot-head for his actions in the past, was one of numerous players to insinuate himself into the situation and, from certain angles, appeared to clock his own teammate John Wall in the back of the head inadvertently.

Although Beal and Green were the only two players ejected on Friday night, it seems like a foregone conclusion that the league will take a closer look, especially to see if any bench players crossed the line onto the court, which is an infraction that immediately earned C.J. McCollum a one-game suspension to start the season.
