Memphis' O.J. Mayo and Tony Allen had a physical confrontation on team charter flight Sunday night, league sources said. Story soon on Y!

Altercation came after a card game gone awry. Mayo became increasingly belligerent toward Allen when asked to settle a debt, sources say

Mayo got into Allen's face, and Allen struck him, sources say. Several teammates got between them and broke it up. Mayo missed Tuesday game.

Grizzlies issued statement saying, "There was a brief altercation between Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo. The club considers the matter closed."

Allen had walked away, gone to restroom on plane and returned to find Mayo still berating him, sources said. That's when it got physical.

@GaryParrishCBS reports Mayo has a "swollen" face. Grizzlies insist he missed Tuesday's game with bronchitis, but sources discount illness.

Tony Allen strikes me [pun intended] as the type of NBA player that would actually swing. Dude seems like he doesn't give a damn and after that interview, he sounds somewhat hood.
