Former Cincinnati Bearcats player Lance Stephenson and former Xavier Musketeers player Jordan Crawford were involved in a brawl during a Big3 league basketball game between LA Riot and Miami 305 that officials ended early after multiple ejections.
Stephenson appeared to throw a punch at Crawford during the melee, after slamming the ball into Crawford’s chest moments earlier.
Crawford, who played at XU during the 2009-10 season, is an LA Riot co-captain. Stephenson, who played at UC during the same season Crawford played for the Muskies, plays for Miami 305.
Both players played in the Crosstown Shootout in December 2009. Stephenson led the Bearcats with 22 points. Crawford scored 16 off the bench for the Musketeers.
In May, Stephenson needed just 64 seconds to choke out fellow former NBA player Michael Beasley at Brand Risk 14, an influencer mixed martial arts event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Now, Stephenson and Beasley are Big3 teammates.
