08:40 AM ET 01.05 | A four-digit card game debt may be at the heart of a fight on a recent team flight. Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo were involved in a physical altercation Monday afternoon over a gambling debt during the Grizzlies' flight home from Los Angeles. Team officials insisted that Mayo's absence Tuesday night for the Grizzlies' 110-105 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder was due to bronchitis and not the fight. ... According to a source, Mayo and Allen were involved in a card game that left Mayo owing Allen between $1,000 and $1,500. Mayo refused to pay and repeatedly insulted Allen.

Silly fellas. Just when you thought maybe Mayo was actually not the guy you were afraid he might be--turns out he might be.

Just as lame a story as the Artest/Jackson 'incident'. Who cares. Will it effect the teams later? Nope. 'nuff said.

This is getting to be old and pathetic, these guys prove time and time again that teams need to be more stern when players / coaches do things that are detrimental to the team.
