The Pacers couldn’t stay out of the drama this week, finding themselves in two heated clashes. It started Monday against the Timberwolves when Andrew Nembhard got tangled up with Mike Conley on a drive, catching him in the face. The refs let it slide, but Rudy Gobert didn’t—he leveled Nembhard with a shoulder to the head, earning a flagrant 2 and an ejection. Nembhard fired back, literally, by throwing the ball at Gobert. That technical, combined with an earlier one, got him tossed too.
Then on Thursday, things boiled over again, this time with Brooklyn Nets‘ Trendon Watford. After Bennedict Mathurin’s layup, the Nets called a timeout, but Watford wasn’t done. He went after Nembhard with a forearm shove, setting off another scuffle. Myles Turner jumped in, and tensions spilled to the sideline before officials broke it up.
The verdict? Watford got two technicals and an early exit. Turner and Nembhard picked up one each, but no free throws were taken. Just another fiery chapter in Indiana’s week of on-court chaos.
