A potential NBA fight? Yeah, another one. This time its Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry and Sixers rookie Ben Simmons potentially going at it in the tunnel in Wells Fargo Arena. Things got pretty heated after a strange on-court exchange between the two players. Simmons then, presumably jokingly, motioned for Lowry to meet him in the hallway.

After both were ejected, Lowry says he took the invitation seriously and was waiting for Simmons in the hallway.

Simmons, however, says he did not meet Lowry and opted to go straight to the locker room. Another narrowly-avoided NBA beef.

This comes on the heels of another strange altercation between the Clippers and Rockets, where a back tunnel was used to get into an opposing team’s locker room.
