After the half-time buzzer on Friday night, an altercation began when both Sharpe and Memphis Grizzlies star, Dillion Brooks shouted at each other. Thereafter, some of the Grizzlies’ players, notably Steven Adams and Ja Morant joined in to confront the NFL veteran. Interestingly, Morant’s father, Tee Morant also got involved and traded a couple of words with Sharpe. As a result, the conversation got heated and they had to be separated by security.
