LAS VEGAS — The Mavericks may not be having a lot of success in terms of victories at the MGM Resorts Summer League, but nobody can doubt their level of fight.
Things got heated with just over 3 minutes left in Sunday’s 86-70 loss to Sacramento when Kings’ forward Chimezie Metu took offense to a foul committed by the Mavericks’ Eugene Omoruyi. Metu popped off the ground and then popped Omoruyi in the face with what appeared to be a closed fist.
Omoruyi had to be restrained by several Mavericks, including coach Greg St. Jean.
