“I just thought he maybe needed a hug on the other end. That’s what happened,” Pippen Jr. said after the game.
When asked if he believed he would be suspended, Pippen Jr. responded by saying:
“I don’t expect anything. I don’t think any punches or anything were thrown. I think it was, like I said, a hug. I don’t think it was too crazy. I got ejected. I think it should be left at that, but we’ll see.”
