Lakers’ Anthony Davis and Grizzlies’ Santi Aldama receive double technicals for shoving match

The Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies had an altercation during the recent NBA in-season tournament games, adding to the list of teams involved.

The shoving match between Anthony Davis and Santi Aldama took place in the first quarter, resulting in technical fouls for both players.

While heading back on defense, Aldama wrapped up Davis, leading to a physical confrontation. Subsequently, both players received technical fouls, and a bench-clearing incident ensued.

Taylor Jenkins, the Grizzlies’ head coach, expressed criticism toward the officials, receiving a subsequent fine from the NBA. This followed his earlier critique of the officiating earlier in the season.
