Unless additional info comes out, initial instigator was
1. Klanus Thompson clearly sticking his hand near McDs neck area and grabbing Jaden McDaniels by jersey and continuing in shoving his neck area.
2. When Klanus persists and does not let up, McDaniels retaliates by grabing Klanus by the jersey too.
3. As they are tangled and spinning upcourt, Gobert seems to truly (imo) do a very light bear hug type neck hold TO PREVENT further escalation. Thats imo, you view the tape and give yours please.
4. Apemond now jumps into the fray by grabbing Gorbert 5Xs more forcefully then Gorbert grabbed ____. Apemond imo has no motive whatsoever, zero in deescalating the situation, Rather is again doing his idiot fake tough guy (read coward) activity once again. Check it out how long and hard and far he pulls on Goberts neck compared to Goberts grab.
Ok nobody is seriously hurt that i can see. Or are they? Gorbert might want to get his neck checked.
Editers note: In fairness to Klanus, don't know what transpired between he and McDaniels prior to Klanus' neck and jersey grab.
Knowing Klanus, i suspect nothing at all was done by McDaniels other then stuffing Klanus on D.
