Jaylin Williams, Justin Champagnie Ejected in Thunder Wizards Scuffle

A second quarter scuffle between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Washington Wizards led to four ejections: Thunder center Jaylin Williams, guard Ajay Mitchell, guard Cason Wallace, and Wizards forward Justin Champagnie. The melee followed words under the basket and a shove by Mitchell. Oklahoma City led 69-64 at halftime, and the league could still hand out fines or suspensions. Merlin sees two storylines colliding: a top defense known for controlled physicality and a struggling Washington team that has already seen multiple ejections this year. Williams remains an important reserve for the league-leading Thunder, so any discipline could nudge rotations down the stretch. Expect the NBA to review the tape and make an example without derailing the Thunder’s title push.
