OJ Mayo vs. Tony Allen Fight: Latest Reports on What Happened

O.J. Mayo and Tony Allen got into a physical altercation on a Memphis Grizzlies team flight Monday, according to Yahoo! Sports, which confirmed the story through league sources.

According to the report, written by Adrian Wojnarowski, Mayo owed Allen money from a card game. When asked to pay up, Mayo became belligerent towards Allen. Allen reportedly walked away from the altercation but was met with even more antagonizing when he returned.

Finally, Mayo got close to Allen, who then hit him. 

The two teammates were eventually separated and brought to meet with Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins. The sources quoted in the Yahoo! Sports report noted that the organization believes Mayo played a bigger part in the fight. 

The team issued a statement Tuesday, stating, “The club considers the matter closed and will not comment further.”

Wojnarowski's story goes on to say that Allen told one associate that the money Mayo owed to him was, “short money.” Another source said that Mayo owed Allen, “a few grand.” 

Mayo was out of the lineup Tuesday with the official reason being a case of bronchitis. Mayo's replacement was Allen, who scored 19 points to help Memphis defeat Oklahoma City. 

The card game involved in the altercation was Boo-Ray, the same game played between Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton that led to Arenas bringing guns into the locker room.
