During a second quarter timeout Thursday in the Celtics' 115-99 loss to the Heat, a fan video captured an altercation between Marcus Morris and Jaylen Brown ending with the former shoving the latter.
According to NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forsberg, the altercation stemmed from Morris' frustration with Brown not getting back on defense and giving up a layup. Morris told Brown to "play harder" and the two had to be separated.
Danny Ainge spoke to the Boston Globe Friday and did not seem too worried about it.
It’s two good kids that are competitive. They both want the same thing. Emotions happen in games, and I’m not worried about it.
Ainge also mentioned he has not talked with either player about the altercation and hasn't heard anything about it, so he doesn't feel the need to get involved.
Brown did not end up having the best game, finishing with two points on 1-of-5 shooting. The Celtics went on an impressive run to cut an 18-point halftime deficit to 10 heading into the fourth quarter, but Miami's hot shooting from three proved to be too much to overcome.
It is unknown whether Morris will face discipline from the team for the shove, but players are scheduled to meet with reporters on Saturday before their game in Orlando.
