The scuffle between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns players on Friday, December 27 was one of the biggest stories in the NBA. However, even three ejections and two multiple-game suspensions later, there was very little clue about what led to the brawl.
However, a video on YouTube reveals the alleged trash talk between players during the brawl. The video shows Nurkic turning his head back towards Marshall who called him "bum a**."
"Bum a** N****."
As Nurkic moved toward Marshall, Mavericks' PJ Washinton also moved in Nurkic's direction shouting,
"What! What! What!"
Once Marshall and Nurkic exchanged blows, Washington pushed Nurkic hard on the floor.
