In a recent game between the Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz, a heated altercation led to the ejection of Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. and Jazz guard Kris Dunn. The incident occurred just five seconds into the second quarter of the game, which ended with a 147-119 victory for the Rockets.
The scuffle between Smith and Dunn erupted when the two players became entangled while the ball was in play. Despite attempts by other players and officials to intervene and defuse the situation, punches were thrown, resulting in both players being ejected from the game. Although no punches seemed to land, the physical altercation was enough to warrant their removal.
