Donovan Mitchell & Dillon Brooks Ejected After Heated Confrontation During Cavaliers Versus Grizzlies Game, Mitchell Gives Spicy Post-Game Interview
Last night the Cleveland Cavaliers faced off against the Memphis smoke chasers and the sparks were flying. Once again Dillon Brooks was at the center of the team’s drama. During the third quarter, Brooks had his layup blocked and was knocked to the ground. As he got up he swung his hand hitting Donovan Mitchell in the groin. Mitchell immediately reacted by throwing the ball toward Brooks. Immediately coaches, officials and players got involved to break things up.
After the game, Donovan Mitchell did his post-game press conference and didn’t bite his tongue speaking on Dillon Brooks.
“That’s just who he is. We’ve seen it a bunch in this league with him,” said Mitchell. “He and I have had our personal battles for years. Quite frankly, I’ve been busting his a** for years … There’s no place for that in the game. You have to protect yourself at the end of the day.”
“The NBA has to do something about it.”
“It’s bulls**t if I’m being honest with you,” Mitchell said of Brooks. “It’s complete bulls**t to be honest with you. When you start doing cheap s**t like that, that ain’t it.”
Cleveland went on to snatch a 128-113 win over the Grizzlies making their next match-up must-see TV.
