Mitchell was attempting to save lots of the ball, however Brooks, who was on the bottom, hit him within the groin. Mitchell responded by throwing the ball off of Brooks, who was nonetheless on the bottom, and this began a combat between the 2 groups.

“That’s simply who he’s,” Mitchell stated. “We’ve seen it a bunch on this league with him. [He] and I’ve had our private battles for years. Quite frankly, I’ve been busting his ass for years. Playoffs. Regular season. And the one sport he does an all proper job on me as we speak, decides to do one thing like that.

“You know, there isn’t any place within the sport and you’ve got gotta shield your self on the finish of the day, however this has been brewing for years, with me, with different guys within the league,” Mitchell continued. “This is not new.

I assumed Donovan did that. That’s one factor, I’m pleased with our guys, we do not have these guys that begin shit, however we received guys that do not run from shit. You need to on this league, you need to arise for your self. That’s what he did and that is why his teammates had his again.”

Things haven’t been going properly for the Grizzlies of late. They have now misplaced seven of their previous 10 video games, and shedding Brooks to a suspension would solely make issues harder for them.
