As the NBA regular season is starting to approach its end, tensions between the team have seen an increase. From 3 players getting suspended after a fight during a Mavs-Suns game in December 2024 to Lu Dort and Jeremy Sochan’s scuffle leading to a double ejection earlier this month, several examples have popped up recently of the tension leading to physical brawls. Now, Steven Adams and Mason Plumlee have also added themselves to the list of examples.
During the 2nd quarter of the recent Phoenix Suns-Houston Rockets matchup, Jalen Green was seen making a shot from inside the paint. The same extended the Rockets’ lead to 47-50. While everyone else’s attention was on Green, the referees did not miss that an unforeseen incident had occurred just a few feet away. Steven Adams was blocking Mason Plumlee to ensure he could not catch any rebound if the shot missed.
However, things intensified to the point that both players began pushing each other. As most other players and team officials gathered around the duo, they continued fighting and even pushed each other down to the floor. The commentators certainly had the time of their life, with one exclaiming, “It’s like a Sumo Wrestling match down there”.

According to reports, both players were ejected in the aftermath of the incident. Steven Adams was forced to exit the game after just 11 minutes on the court, and making 1 point, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist. Mason Plumlee did not fare much better, as he made only 4 points and 6 rebounds during his 13 minutes on the court.
This is a developing story.
