A video is quickly going viral of DeRozan in an altercation at a restaurant. According to TMZ, "Police confirm to TMZ they responded to an incident involving DeMar around 10:30 Friday evening at Yume Sushi in Calabasas ... and that an investigation is open."
TMZ is also reporting that an eyewitness told the site that DeRozan "blew up" after a man put a phone in his face with a bright light, which DeRozan then knocked out of his hand. The Kings did not answer TMZ's request to speak on the situation.
An unfortunate situation for all involved, as the NBA has officially started the playoffs today, with the Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets already victorious on the day.
The New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons are currently underway, with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers closing out the day one action.
