The NBA is looking into a recent physical confrontation involving Knicks coach Derek Fisher and Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes, according to Yahoo Sports.
The former Lakers teammates were allegedly physical with one another over the weekend in Los Angeles. Yahoo reports NBA security didn’t find out about the confrontation until Monday.
The reason for the altercation, per the New York Post, is because Fisher is dating Barnes’ estranged wife, Gloria Govan. When the Grizzlies player found out, he allegedly attacked Fisher. The incident took place at Govan’s residence, per Yahoo and the Post. Govan is on the television show “Basketball Wives.”
Fisher filed for divorce from his wife Candace in March after they were together for 10 years. Barnes has twins with Govan.
A source told the Post that Barnes drove 95 miles to LA to “beat the s—” out of Fisher. Another source said Fisher left the altercation with just “a few scratches” and he won’t press charges. The Knicks coach left the scene before cops showed up, and Govan is planning to file a restraining order against Barnes, per the report.
Fisher missed Knicks practice Monday due to “personal reasons.”
