The Kings’ season might have ended but their problems have not. Earlier this week, they faced a brutal elimination after getting blown out by the Mavs in the Play-in tournament. Within hours, they fired their GM Monte McNair, causing major chaos in the organization. And just when things were starting to calm down, their superstar DeMar DeRozan got himself into some deep water off the court.
Turns out, Deebo got into a physical altercation with another man at Yume Sushi in Calabasas. The incident occurred Friday night and the 28-second clip of the fight was made public by TMZ. The video shows DeRozan reaching for the man’s legs as he lay on the floor, while another person in a suit tries to pull the Kings star away. Amid the altercation, an unidentified woman in a gray sweatsuit can be heard yelling, “Let him go D. Let him go.”
As DeMar walks away, the man gets up and immediately begins asking for his phone from the NBA veteran. “I need my phone. Give me my phone.” He yells, charging toward Deebo while the unidentified woman separates the two by standing in between.
The Kings star then proceeds to walk away from the altercation by stepping into another section of the restaurant. Meanwhile, the man continues yelling at him and cursing him out. The woman keeps him at bay for the entirety of the incident. Although it remains unknown who she was, she played a crucial role in deescalating the situation.
As expected, the police were called and the LA County Sheriff’s department is reportedly investigating the incident. Per Sgt. Brandon Painter, “the incident is a subject of an active and ongoing investigation.” No further details were provided. But what caused this mayhem?
