A late-game clash between Scotty Pippen Jr. and Myron Gardner overshadowed the Miami Heat’s 136–120 win over the Memphis Grizzlies at Kaseya Center.
The incident began after Pippen hit a three-pointer and was struck from behind by Gardner, with no foul called.
The Memphis guard reacted immediately, confronting Gardner before the two collided near the sideline and had to be separated.
Both players were ejected with 1:55 remaining as Miami held a comfortable lead. Pippen later described the contact as a “cheap shot,” while the NBA is expected to review the altercation for possible discipline.
