As play initially continued at the far end, Jalen Suggs pulled Rivers away from Bamba and to the ground while other players joined in.
Rivers, Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince were ejected for the Timberwolves, who had lost forward Kyle Anderson earlier in the game due to injury. Bamba and Suggs were tossed for Orlando.

Nothing apparent seemed to have instigated the fight. However, replays showed Bamba and Markelle Fultz reacting while watching Rivers run back up the court.
