It wasn’t intentional — as soon as he did it Isaiah Thomas walked over to Andrew Wiggins to check on him. Then before he left the court, Thomas flashed a thumbs up to make sure Wiggins was okay.
But IT earned an ejection with this one.
In the third quarter, Wiggins was driving across the lane and Thomas made a swipe at the ball and in the process clotheslined Wiggins right across the neck. It was a WWE hit, intentional or not, and the ejection was deserved.
Minnesota has dominated this game, leading by 27 at the half and pushing it north of 30 in the second half.
