The Orlando Magic could be shorthanded for their next game.
Players had to be separated during the Magic’s matchup against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night after a flagrant foul by Moe Wagner led to an altercation.
While chasing a loose ball down court late in the second quarter, Wagner lowered a shoulder into Killian Hayes and pushed him, sending Hayes crashing into the Pistons’ bench. Hamidou Diallo then pushed Wagner from behind just as Hayes got back to his feet and appeared to throw a punch of sorts at the back of Wagner’s head.

While no other punches appeared to be thrown during the incident, it seemed that nearly all of the Magic reserves left the bench during the skirmish, which typically results in an automatic suspension.
