According to ESPN, Austin Rivers was one of the players at the heart of the situation that the Houston players wanted to confront because he was talking so much trash from the bench during the game. And due to injury, Austin was never going to see the court any any point during that game. In fact he was in his street clothes on the bench. Speaking of his former teammate, Matt Barnes said Austin “carries himself like a 10-time All-Star and he’s not that. And that kind of arrogance rubs you the wrong way.”
