The simmering rivalry between the Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves boiled over once more on Tuesday night, as Devin Booker and Jaden McDaniels found themselves embroiled in a physical confrontation. The incident ignited when McDaniels set a hard screen on Booker, prompting the Phoenix guard to retaliate with a shove. While McDaniels was initially called for a foul, the post-whistle shove he delivered in response drew the ire of the officials, who assessed him a technical foul after reviewing the footage. Both players have a history of such confrontations, adding fuel to the fire of this latest altercation. Earlier this season, McDaniels was ejected for fighting against the Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson, while Booker has been involved in numerous scuffles throughout his NBA career. The first half of Tuesday’s game ended with McDaniels accumulating two personal fouls and Booker with one. The Timberwolves found themselves in deeper foul trouble, with Karl-Anthony Towns sitting out the entire second quarter due to three fouls. Despite the heated exchanges, it is值得 noting that Towns refrained from engaging in any physical confrontations.
