It all started with Sharpe exchanging words with Grizzlies swingman Dillon Brooks. That led to Steve Adams throwing himself at the front of the altercation.

As if there weren't enough people involved in this mess, Ja Morant's father, Tee Morant, joined the skirmish. However, he was actually spotted making amends with Sharpe in the second half of the game.

James made it clear that he's got Sharpe's back. "I ride with Shannon 365 days — 366 on a leap year — 24/7," James told reporters. "So that’s my guy. I always got his back. And he’s got mine. He can talk with the best of them, for sure."
