"Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Grizzlies guards O.J. Mayo and Tony Allen got into a fight on the team's charter flight Monday after a card game.
According to the report, which cited unidentified sources, Mayo owed Allen money following the game and became increasingly angry toward Allen when asked to settle the debt. Several players eventually had to separate the teammates (ESPN)."
It doesn't sound like this will be an on going problem, but you have to think Mayo has got to be pissed of that he is coming off the bench. Everyone made such a big deal out of him after his rookie year, and since he has been good, but not great. I hated Tony Allen for most of the time he was with the Celtics, until last year when I started to have a lot of respect for him. I still think he should've stayed, but I understand that he wanted to do more with his career. Yet, it really hasn't worked out he is only averaging 5.7 ppg, 1.1 asts, and 2 rebs a game. I feel like he could've easily done that here, and been on a Championship caliber team.
Mayo missed the next game due to "illness", but I have heard rumors that it was the team that made him sit out.
