Late in the Thursday night contest between the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks, there was a moment towards the end of the game that had a bunch of people scratching their head. Until they realized Matt Barnes was involved, then they kind of understood.
Bucks big man John Henson punched Matt Barnes shot and he taunted right in the face of Barnes. Obviously, Barnes has a reputation that follows him and that might have a small part in the result of this altercation. Eventually, Henson and Barnes were ejected, according to the play-by-play breakdown and as Henson left the court and tossed his jersey into the stands, it appears that Barnes went after him but he did run by the Bucks locker room.
According to Gery Woefel of the Racine Journal Times, eventually Barnes did reach the Bucks locker room looking for Henson.
Several sources said Barnes entered Bucks locker room after game looking for Henson.

So with the latest Matt Barnes incident it now appears that the NBA will be investigating what exactly happened between the two players.
Following from TMZ Sports.
The NBA has launched an investigation in the Matt Barnes vs. John Henson “chasing” incident — though we’re told there was NO FIGHT … league sources tell TMZ Sports.
But our sources are adamant … nothing happened after the game, period — with each player going to his respective locker room and that was it.
