The game between Sacramento Kings and Milwaukee Bucks at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, Calif. left us with one of the most embarrassing moments of this NBA season. With just 15 seconds left in the game, Brook Lopez of the Bucks and Trey Lyles of the Kings got into a scandalous fight that marred the spectacle of the game between two of the best teams of the 2022-23 regular season.

The brawl began with a gesture by the Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo in front of Lyles, who interpreted it as a provocation. The two players immediately confronted each other, and Lopez went to defend his teammate.
The images show Lyles grabbing Lopez by the neck. The Bucks center ended up with blood on his left eyebrow. The referees ejected both players, and the NBA could fine or suspend them several games. The duel ended with Milwaukee winning 133-124.
