DeMar DeRozan, Dillon Brooks ejected from videogame after on-court scuffle in Houston

DeMar DeRozan and Dillon Brooks were both ejected after being included in an on-court scrum, in Thursday’ night’s videogame inbetween the Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets.

With 6: 02 staying in the 3rd quarter and the Rockets leading 84-75, Jalen Green was bringing the ball up the court when DeRozan came off a screen and hip-checked him, which sentout Green down to the court in discomfort.

Brooks took exception and rightaway approached DeRozan, who had his back turned to him. DeRozan turned and looked to haveactually elbowed Brooks in the chin, which triggered the 2 to lock arms. This triggered colleagues to shot and break it up.

The scrum grew with group personnel and security trying to stepin. Torrey Craig got included and he and Brooks fell to the ground after tripping over a security guard who hadactually fallen.

After the scrum hadactually been cleared the nasty and evaluated, the preliminary nasty by DeRozan was ruled a ostentatious nasty 2, and he was ejected. Brooks was offered a technical nasty and ejected for his function.

Brooks left the videogame at the time with a team-leading 23 points on 10-of-13 shooting for Houston, while DeRozan left with 16 points on simply 4-of-15 shooting in 23 minutes.
