Pacers’ Lance Stephenson and Evan Turner Got Into an Altercation Before Game 1

lance_stephenson_evan_turnerEven though the Indiana Pacers were able to even up their series with the Hawks, they’re still showig signs of imploding. Apparently, Lance Stephenson and Evan Turner got into a physical altercation before game 1.

This is troubling for two reasons: 1) teammates from a legit title contender are fighting, and 2) Evan Turner has barely been on the team for two months.

Two Indiana Pacers dragged a cursing, cut Evan Turner out of the Bankers Life Fieldhouse court, untangling him from a practice-floor fistfight with teammate Lance Stephenson.

Turner hadn’t been the first Pacer to lose his temper with Stephenson these tumultuous several weeks, and Stephenson’s relentlessly irritable nature suggests Turner won’t be the last. These scrapes aren’t uncommon in the NBA, but this confrontation had been weeks in the making and that reflected in the ferocity of the encounter, sources told Yahoo Sports.
