In Shumpert’s own words, “Some stuff needed to be between me and him, a conversation between two men. Some stuff happened out there that we needed to have a conversation about. That’s it.”

Nurkic shot back at Shumpert, saying “I’m not going to worry about it. He’s going into retirement soon. I’m not going to worry about a guy who’s going into retirement soon.”

Shumpert apologized on twitter following the incident.

I apologize to the fans if I made a scene. Wasn’t my intention but this 2019 stuff is all about a “story”. Don’t let that distract you from this young Scores ball club getting a great victory against a tested Blazers team #theScoresisHERE #purpletalk
