Two NBA stars BRAWL during heated international match between France and Germany
Two NBA players got into an ugly altercation during an international match on Saturday.
While France won a friendly match against Germany 90-66, Frenchman Evan Fournier and German Dennis Schroder had to be separated.
During a play in the second quarter, Schroder went to the basket and was fouled hard by Fournier.
Schroder walked over to his rival and placed his hands on his shoulders.
In response, Fournier put his hands around Schröder’s throat and strangled him, after which his teammates and referees dispersed them.
