A short clip of the incident was uploaded on Twitter shortly after it occurred. The video showed Lee attempting a shot. Upon failing, the Suns’ star seemingly lost his footing and grabbed onto Eubanks for support. However, the Blazers’ star shoved Lee in order to go after the ball and Lee fell on his back. He immediately got up and confronted Eubanks as one of the on-court officials immediately jumped in to stop the issue from getting any further out of hand.

The Phoenix Suns star Damion Lee is the brother-in-law of Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. Lee is married to Steph’s sister Sydel, and they have a son together. Moreover, the duo played together for four seasons when Lee was on the Warriors team. Therefore, it is evident that they have a pretty good bond. This was why Curry could not hold back his excitement when the Suns won their game against the Dallas Mavericks on October 20, 2022.
Curry posted a couple of short Instagram stories where he could be seen watching the Suns vs Mavs game at his home. Steph began cheering significantly loudly for Lee which woke his son Canon up! Along with being brothers-in-law, the two NBA stars also won a championship together in 2022, before Lee signed with the Suns.
