Four players were ejected during Saturday night’s matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Washington Wizards after a fight erupted on the court and spilled into the stands.
The confrontation began in front of the team benches and quickly escalated when members from both rosters tangled near the sideline. As the scuffle moved toward the first few rows of spectators, security personnel and arena staff rushed in to separate those involved and to move fans away from the area.
After reviewing the incident on video, officials assessed fighting fouls and disqualified four players. All were escorted to their respective locker rooms, and order was restored following a brief delay.
The game resumed once the floor was cleared and the crowd had settled. No further incidents were reported.
