Late in the second quarter Friday night as the Golden State Warriors hosted the Washington Wizards, Draymond Green and Bradley Beal got into a fight.
It’s hard to know what started it, but the two players got intertwined and ended up on the floor. And when it was all over, Green’s jersey was ripped in half and he appeared to tell head coach Steve Kerr, “He punched me,” or, “He pushed me.”

In the end, both Green and Beal were ejected.
Fighting technicals given to Draymond Green and Bradley Beal. Green is ejected for his tech earlier in the game. He's obviously upset

It’s going to be very interesting to see how the league handles this. Beal appeared to be the aggressor, and Green was just sucked into the fight because of it. We might see Beal miss more time than just the second half of Friday night’s game.
On top of it all, it sure looks like Kelly Oubre accidentally decked John Wall in the back of the head during the scrum.
Yep, Kelly clocked Wall, lol pic.twitter.com/YUID3JJwsc

We can only assume he was aiming for a Warriors player, which might also warrant further review by the NBA.
