During the third quarter of Wednesday’s game vs. the Mavericks, Jordan Bell nudged veteran point guard Devin Harris, who responded with an elbow, earning himself a technical foul.
It was the second skirmish of the night for Bell, who also briefly got into it with Mavs center Salah Mejri in the first quarter.

After the game, Bell told ESPN’s Chris Haynes that he thought his incident with Mejri had something to do with his off the backboard dunk against the Mavs on Oct 23. He also claimed he didn’t know Mejri’s name, and said that No. 50 was “trying to be a fake tough guy.”

On Thursday, Mejri responded on Twitter, claiming he also doesn’t know much about Bell.
