Another day, another crazy rumor involving the Sacramento Kings – though this one is a little different than the rest.
That’s because, according to a handful of sources at the basketball game, members of the Sacramento Kings and Milwaukee Bucks were said to have a fight in the players tunnel.
Multiple reports are suggesting that it was DeMarcus Cousins and Jerryd Bayless who were the two players that began barking at each other. As you might recall, Bayless has a history with the Kings and has previously been the source of tension between the two NBA franchises.
What exactly transpired in the tunnel between the two players and teams is unknown, though it obviously doesn’t sound very good currently.

Demarcus and Bayless were yelling back and forth at half time but nothing came of it. Hearing that Cousins came at Bayless postgame

There was a big mob at the end of the hallway where the players go. Began with Bayless and Cousins shoving each other

It had to be broken up by coaches and security. Fans are not being allowed to walk through it at the moment

Some reports are also suggesting that no contact was made – rather heavy trash talking instead. Either way, probably not the way either club wanted to make the headlines.
Let me make this clear. There was no contact in hallway between DMC and Bayless. Anyone saying otherwise is a liar!

This is what allegedly started the issue:

OJ Mayo, who can been seen above jawing with Cousins, was allegedly escorted to his car by teammates.
