Dejounte Murray, Paolo Banchero Have Intense Mix-up at Pro-Am

The NBA is grabbing some headlines this Summer.

Dejounte Murray and Paolo Banchero are at the center of this weekend’s NBA activities. The two players whose beef caught our attention over the weekend were 2022 NBA All-Star Dejounte Murray and 2022 NBA Draft No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero. Murray and Banchero are both from Seattle and spent this weekend competing in Isaiah Thomas’ “Zeke-End” tournament in nearby Tacoma.

Things started to feel a bit intense on the court before eventually carrying over onto social media.

Check out a summary of what happened in case you may have missed it:

Paolo is so strong that he goes up for the ball and unintentionally makes Dejounte Murray bust his ass on the floor.

Paolo doesn't even realize he's mad when Murray uses his strength to push Paolo back.

Paolo stops his momentum, hugs him, and pats him on the belly lol. pic.twitter.com/NttfjFy1RG

"It's a man's league. He a little boy, he's too soft."

Shoutout to Paolo and Dejounte for attempting to get someone to care about a Magic-Hawks regular season game.
