NBA: Miami Heat at Houston Rockets - Image: Imagn
It was a weekend filled with NBA brawls, the latest involving Amen Thompson and Tyler Herro during Sunday’s Houston Rockets vs. Miami Heat matchup. The fallout from the scuffle was significant, leading to six ejections.
With 35.7 seconds left in the game — just moments after Fred VanVleet’s ejection — tensions flared between Thompson and Herro. After an exchange of words, Thompson grabbed Herro’s jersey and brought him to the ground, sparking chaos as benches cleared and players and coaches rushed to midcourt.
The scene escalated with pushing and shoving, and after a thorough review, six individuals were ejected: Rockets coach Ime Udoka, assistant Ben Sullivan, Thompson and Jalen Green, along with Miami’s Herro and Terry Rozier.
