Heat-Pelicans Brawl Includes Thomas Bryant & Jose Alvarado Throwing Punches At Each Other During Heated Altercation

Bally Sports


Things got heated during the Heat-Pelicans game on Friday night.

Late in the game, Jimmy Butler and Naji Marshall both got ejected for putting hands on each other’s necks.

While the referees tried to get things under control, another sideline scuffle broke out.

Several videos show Heat center Thomas Bryant and Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado going at it near the scorer’s table and throwing punches at each other.

Eventually, both Alvarado and Bryant got ejected alongside Butler and Marshall during the game.

All four players can probably expect a call from the NBA league office on Saturday.
