  • Jaden McDaniels pokes Suns’ Devin Booker, gets ejected


    Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels was ejected with 20 seconds remaining in Wednesday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns after poking Suns guard Devin Booker in the face at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.

    McDaniels and Booker were sharing some words throughout the game. During a sequence in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, McDaniels poked Booker in the face, and both players were hit with technical fouls. McDaniels, however, was also ejected because of the contact with Booker’s face. The Wolves, though, already secured their 121-113 win.

    If that wasn’t weird enough, it wasn’t even the first ejection of the game. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch was ejected during the third quarter after picking up his second technical foul of the game. Finch was furious as he exited, but his fiery outburst appeared to spark the Wolves, who shortly after took their largest lead of the game and put away the Suns.





    In a heated matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns, tensions boiled over as Jaden McDaniels found himself in hot water after poking Suns’ star Devin Booker.

    The incident occurred in the third quarter when McDaniels, frustrated with a call, approached Booker and gave him a playful poke on the chest. However, the referees deemed the action as unsportsmanlike and gave McDaniels a technical foul, resulting in his ejection from the game.

    The ejection came as a blow to the Timberwolves, who were already trailing the Suns by a significant margin. McDaniels’ absence only added to their struggles as they ultimately fell to Phoenix.

    While the poke may have been intended as harmless banter, it serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining composure on the court. Emotions can run high in competitive games, but players must remember to channel their energy in a positive and respectful manner.

    As for McDaniels, he will likely face disciplinary action from the league for his actions. Hopefully, this incident serves as a learning experience for the young player and he can move forward with a renewed focus on sportsmanship and fair play.

  • Jasprit Bumrah, Virat Kohli’s Aggressive Act As Sam Konstas Pokes India Pacer Again. Wach

    Jasprit Bumrah, Virat Kohli’s Aggressive Act As Sam Konstas Pokes India Pacer Again. Wach





    Australia’s young opening batter Sam Konstas has time and again shown his intent to not limit his talking to his bat. In the last over before stumps on Day 1 of the 5th Test between Australia and India on Friday, Konstas unnecessarily riled up Jasprit Bumrah over a matter that didn’t even involve him. Right after the incident, Bumrah removed Konstas’ opening partner Usman Khawaja at the striker’s end, prompting an act of aggression from the Indian pacer, prompting Virat Kohli to join in as well. 

    It all happened on the penultimate delivery of the day when Khawaja took a little time to get ready at the striker’s end, resulting in Bumrah’s rhythm getting disturbed. However, the non-striker Konstas involved himself in the incident by uttering a few words to Bumrah, riling up the pacer.

    On the next delivery, Bumrah got Khawaja caught in slips, thanks to KL Rahul‘s brilliant effort.

    After taking the wicket, Bumrah charged at Konstas at the non-striker’s end as a part of his celebratory act. Kohli, who is known to wear his heart on his sleeve, also came running from the slip cordon and seemingly charged at Konstas.

    Earlier, India disappointed with the bat yet again, putting a total of 185 runs on the board, that too after stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah contributed 22 runs with the bat. Rishabh Pant was the top-scoring batter for India on the opening day, scoring 40 runs before giving-in to his attacking instincts yet again. Kohli, on the other hand, disappointed again by scoring just 17 runs before getting dismissed to the outside off delivery again.

    India had benched Rohit Sharma in the match over poor form but his replacement Shubman Gill failed to make his start count as well, scoring just 20 runs before getting dismissed by spinner Nathan Lyon.

    Bumrah’s solitary wicket before stumps on Day 1 set the desired platform for India ahead of Day 2. India would hope for a few quick wickets early on Day 2.

Kohli’s fiery attitude and protective nature towards his players have once again come to the forefront, showing his unwavering support for the Indian team.

    As the tension between Bumrah, Kohli, and Konstas continues to escalate, it will be interesting to see how this drama unfolds on the cricket field. Stay tuned for more updates on this fiery rivalry.
