  "account": "As the Brooklyn Nets held a 38-point lead over the New Orleans Pelicans with under five minutes remaining on Wednesday, tensions rose on the court. Nets forward Noah Clowney and Pelicans forward Julian Reese engaged in physical contact, with Clowney falling to the floor while battling for a free throw rebound. The altercation escalated into a full-blown on-court fight, involving teammates and officials in an effort to break up the confrontation.\n\nBoth players were assessed technical fouls, as were teammates Terance Mann and Jaron Pierre Jr. The incident marks the latest in a series of altercations for Clowney, who was selected by the Nets 21st overall out of Alabama in the 2023 NBA Draft but has yet to receive an extension. Clowney's on-court clashes include a recent encounter with Dallas Mavericks rookie Morez Johnson and an exchange with Boston Celtics center Mitchell Robinson.\n\nClowney entered Wednesday's game averaging 19.7 minutes per contest in 10 games, his shortest average since his rookie season. He also posted a career-low 5.0 points per game. Julian Reese, the younger brother of Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese, is in his second NBA season and is currently playing for the Pelicans on a two-way contract.",
