The Memphis Grizzlies recently faced the Phoenix Suns, but unfortunately, they were without their superstar, Ja Morant, who was sidelined due to a sprained shoulder. This situation presented a perfect opportunity for Cam Spencer to showcase his abilities. Interestingly, although Spencer didn’t score many points, he was involved in a heated altercation that stood out in the game.

With only 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Booker was in a heated discussion regarding a backcourt violation. At that moment, Spencer moves and attempts to snatch the ball away from Booker. This unexpected action can rattle any player, and Booker naturally reacts by shoving Spencer.

The verbal exchange that followed drew in teammates from both sides, leading them to intervene and separate the two. Interestingly, Barstool Sports just posted a video of this dramatic moment on X (formerly Twitter). In the clip, viewers can see Spencer smiling after Booker’s shove. Furthermore, NBA fans quickly commented to share their reactions to the altercation.

One fan said, “Wait. Pat Spencer has a brother?”

Meanwhile, Another fan mentioned, “NBA is turning into the NHL with these fights.”

Another fan commented, “Holding the ball is a T.”

Another fan mentioned, “The only sport where the players participate in social class segregation while playing.”

A sports enthusiast commented, “Is the NBA begging now?”

Is the NBA begging now?
