O.J. Mayo, Tony Allen Involved In Fight On Team Plane, According To Reports

Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins has banned gambling on team flights, reports Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, after O.J. Mayo and Tony Allen got into a fight on a charter plane Monday night.

Mayo reportedly refused to pay a gambling debt of $1,000-1,500 to Allen and taunted the veteran. According to reports, the argument then got physical, with Allen beating Mayo in the face badly enough that Mayo missed Tuesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Wojnarowski reported that the fight stemmed from a gambling debt. Mayo apparently got into Allen’s face when asked to settle a debt, and Allen allegedly decked Mayo. According to accounts, Mayo wasn’t at the arena for Memphis’ game.
