Dejounte Murray and Paolo Banchero made headlines during Isaiah Thomas’ “Zeke-End” Tournament in Tacoma. But while the beef began on the court, it soon carried over on social media.

Now, it appears fans will get to watch an interesting rivalry develop in the Eastern Conference Southeast Division.

Banchero was selected first overall by the Orlando Magic in the 2022 NBA Draft, whereas Murray was traded by the San Antonio Spurs to the Atlanta Hawks during this offseason.

Last season, the Hawks defeated the Magic 130-109 on Feb. 16. The full schedule for the 2022-23 NBA season releases Friday, Aug. 19. Be sure to mark your calendar.

The full timeline from Sunday night is featured below.

Dejounte Murray bumps Paolo Banchero after falling to the floor

During the “Zeke-End” Tournament, NBA players Murray and Banchero both jumped in the air underneath the basket. The ball went flying offscreen. Though, Murray was simply outmatched. Banchero’s size was enough to knock Murray to the floor.

Paolo is so strong that he goes up for the ball and unintentionally makes Dejounte Murray bust his ass on the floor.

Paolo doesn’t even realize he’s mad when Murray uses his strength to push Paolo back.
