The Memphis Grizzlies got off to a 15-9 start, but have since lost ten of their thirteen NBA 2018-19 Regular Season matches. Following their home defeat at the hands of the Detroit Pistons a team meeting took place. Players and coaches talked about what must be corrected, but there also was a physical altercation in the locker room, according to The Athletic.

The discussion on what each player can improve got to the bench players. Omri Casspi didn’t agree on the motion that the second unit doesn’t show enthusiasm on the court and expressed his feelings. He ultimately exchanged words with Garrett Temple and had a physical altercation until the two players were separated.

The 30-year-old Israeli played five minutes on Wednesday but only grabbed one rebound. He’s averaging 5.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks this season.
