What happened to Tristan Thompson during the NBA Paris Games?

The Cavs took home the win over the Nets in the 2024 NBA Paris Games. It was a one-sided affair during the second half, as Cleveland got a win and dominated the game.

Fans in Paris got their first taste of an NBA scuffle after Tristan Thompson got into it with Nic Claxton. After Claxton made a basket, he taunted Thompson on his way to the other side of the court. The Cavs' big man jogged his way to the other side and bumped into the younger center for taunting him. The Nets' big man immediately fell to the floor after the bump, and a scuffle ensued.

Thompson had to be restrained by officials and was later ejected from the game. He was issued a flagrant foul 2 for bumping into Claxton unnecessarily. Watch the play happen below:

Thompson only had 10 minutes of playing time and scored only one point the entire game. Claxton got the best of him as he finished the game and had a double-double. He had 13 points and 11 rebounds in 33 minutes of action.

The Cavs had the last laugh, however, ending the game with a 111-102 win. Cam Thomas and Mikal Bridges tried their best to win with 26 points, apiece. However, their production wasn't enough, as Donovan Mitchell had 45 points against the Nets. Caris LeVert added 21 points off the bench.
