Police are looking into an incident allegedly involving Kings star forward DeMar DeRozan at a sushi restaurant in California.
According to TMZ Sports, the altercation occurred Friday night at Yume Sushi in Calabasas.
The outlet shared a 28-second video of the incident, where DeRozan allegedly got into a screaming match with another individual and briefly got physical at some points.
TMZ reported that things escalated when a man put a phone with a bright light in the NBA star’s face before DeRozan knocked the device out of the person’s hand.
In the short video, DeRozan is seen grabbing for the legs of another person who is on the floor of the restaurant.
The man, after getting up, repeatedly asked for his phone back.
