Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns and Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid got into a huge brawl during Wednesday night's game, and it was so intense that parents were getting involved.
After both players were ejected for their actions, Embiid drew the attention of Towns' parents on the way to the Sixers' locker room, and they weren't happy with him.

The behavior of Town's parents is understandable. Every parent wants to protect their son at all costs. However, it was a good thing that they were at a distance.
Who knew what could've happened if they were within an arm's reach of Joel Embiid?
Fans should expect the league to hand out severe sanctions on both KAT and Embiid. Fists were thrown, and this could mean multiple-game suspensions and hefty fines.
Since Embiid and Towns are both key pieces of their squads, their absence will definitely be a huge blow to their respective teams.
Some say that Ben Simmons, who actually held Towns on a choke-hold to stop the fight, should also be suspended and fined. However, he was simply trying to hold Towns back. Nevertheless, it's up to the league to decided if Simmons' intentions were pure or if he was trying to get the upper hand over Towns.
