Yes, even in the NBA Summer League, things can get a little chippy between players. We saw that unfold in Monday night's game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City.

In Monday night's NBA Summer League matchup, Sensabaugh gave a hard foul to Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia. As Sensabaugh began walking away, Edey gave the former Ohio State star a bump in defense of his teammate.

Sensabaugh then responded with a little nudge before the two sides went separate ways. It wasn't a major altercation in Monday night's game, but it does show that these games mean something to the guys playing.

Edey was known as a good teammate during his time at Purdue. He proved that's a quality he'll bring with him to the NBA, as well.

Memphis selected Edey with the No. 9 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. He was a two-time National Player of the Year while at Purdue.
