Here’s Why Desmond Bane Shoved His Own Teammate

Desmond Bane and Santi Aldama, both Memphis Grizzlies players, were involved in a heated moment during a timeout in a game against the Utah Jazz on March 26, 2025, at the Delta Center.

The incident occurred early in the game when the Jazz started strong offensively, prompting Bane to yell at Aldama about defensive effort before pushing him into a seat on the bench.

Despite the altercation, the Grizzlies won the game 140-103, with Bane scoring 21 points and Aldama contributing nine points.
