DJ Wagner, Camden HS pulled from district tournament following in-game brawl

Kentucky men’s basketball signee DJ Wagner was briefly involved in a brawl during a district tournament game that resulted in his team’s removal from the upcoming state tournament.

The incident happened in the midst of the Camden County Boys Basketball Tournament championship game on Thursday night between Camden High School and Camden Eastside High School. During the second quarter, video from the scene shows a Camden player hitting a Camden Eastside player with an elbow around the head, which quickly escalated into a lengthy on-court brawl that saw Wagner charge after a player from Camden Eastside before being removed from the situation.
