Kings forward DeMar DeRozan is the subject of an “ongoing and active investigation” following an incident Friday night, according to Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee.
A 28-second video posted to TMZ shows DeRozan involved in a confrontation with another man at the Yume Sushi restaurant in Calabasas, California. DeRozan can be seen reaching for the other man’s legs while he’s on the floor, according to Anderson, while a woman yells to DeRozan to “let him go.” When the man gets to his feet, he tells DeRozan, “I’m a big fan” and says “give me my phone.” They are eventually broken up by other restaurant patrons.
A witness tells TMZ that the skirmish began when the man “shoved a phone with a bright light in DeMar’s face.” The witness adds that DeRozan knocked the phone away and claims the unidentified man suffered injuries in the fight that resulted in him leaving the restaurant in an ambulance.
Law enforcement authorities weren’t able to verify the witness’s version of events, according to Anderson, and the Kings didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
DeRozan just completed his first season with Sacramento after being acquired from Chicago in a sign-and-trade last summer. The team saw its season end Wednesday night with a home loss to Dallas in the play-in tournament.
So don’t be so entitled and shove a phone in someone’s face like it’s your right to get a pic and or autograph. Try asking or better yet. Just let the man eat.
Yeah, the “fan” certainly asked for whatever happened to him. A good old case of FAFO.
The tool literally recorded himself walking up to DeMar and shoving the phone and bright light into his face, then again when he’s in the ambulance where you see zero injuries from the waist up. Self awareness doesn’t seem to be his strong suit.
Here’s to hoping he doesn’t see a dime from the inevitable lawsuit cash grab.
Infulencer behavior
Hope he gets sued for 50 million.
I doubt the guy has that kind of cash if he is attacking celebrities with cell phones…seems like this person needs professional help
Someone just looking to get paid.
How was the sushi though? Yelp wants to know.
Saw the video from the “victim’s” phone. He was in the wrong and provoked DeRozan. FAFO for sure. Hope he gets nothing from DeRozan, not even an apology.
Damn. I eat there all the time
Username doesn’t check out.
I mean….the fan is in the wrong but having a reaction like this is also wrong
Raise your hand if you had to google “FAFO”
To be fair, the fan deserved a straight right to the chin
Yep and only in the States could a guy like this possibly get paid. Different country sure but, in my neck of the woods if you acted like that toward curtain professional athletes you’d be layed out and it would probably be you that gets charged. If you didn’t hit your head and die that is.
Another man from Uranus. Guy can’t even eat.
Of course now its about $$$$$$.
Fish Flop
Just let the man eat his sushi.
DeRozan has always been a class act. The so called fan is totally wrong for putting his camera in DeRozan’s face.
These struggle streamers as usual…
