Mavs' Porzingis involved in bloody altercation

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis was involved in a bloody altercation over the weekend at a club in his hometown of Liepaja, Latvia.

A source told ESPN that the Mavericks' understanding of the incident is that several Russians jumped Porzingis, who fought back before the club security broke up the scuffle.

Video of the aftermath of the incident went viral, showing Porzingis with a bloody gash on his head and torn shirt. The source said that Porzingis was hit with an object, believed to be a chair, but did not suffer any significant injuries.
