Not long ago, Montrezel Harrell was once one of the most beloved Clippers players. He was a Sixth Man of the Year and helped establish a new culture in the organization after Blake Griffin was traded.
As the years passed, Harrell lost his place in the league and now plays for the Adelaide 36ers in the National Basketball League. Unfortunately, in a recent match against Melbourne United, Harrell got physical with a fan after the fan got physical with one of his teammates.
“But I’m the bad guy, right, I literally try to calm down, but then I wanna try the tuff , so now I’m riding for my team, sorry, not sorry , Harrell said on social media.

Animosity between the 36ers and Melbourne United was brewing throughout the match. If officials had tempered emotions between Harrell and his opposition, there might have been a moment to simmer the tension. Harrell was actually sent off in the match against Melbourne United after having an incident with Shea Ili for an attacking foul.

As a member of the Adelaide 36ers, Harrell is averaging 20.2 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists on 56% shooting from the field. His numbers are reminiscent of his final season with the LA Clippers, where he averaged 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists on 58% shooting from the field. It remains to be seen how the NBL will punish Harrell for the altercation with a fan.
