Houston Rockets forward Trevor Ariza waitied outside the locker room after Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks after center Salah Mejri allegedly made a derogatory comment about Ariza's wife and children, according to multiple media outlets.
The comment was made between the third and fourth quarters of Houston's 123–107 victory over Dallas. Ariza exchanged words with Mejri in the game and received a technical for the exchange. It was Ariza's second technical, which led to a game ejection.
After the game, Ariza was joined by teammates Patrick Beverley, James Harden, and Eric Gordon as they waited for Mejri outside the Dallas locker room.
