Something strange happened on Tuesday in Des Moines. During a timeout in the third quarter of the Iowa Energy's game against the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, teammates Jarnell Stokes and Kalin Lucas got into a fight. 

Stokes is on assignment from the Memphis Grizzlies. Lucas spent training camp with the Grizzlies and was called up earlier this season. The two are both rookies. Stokes has about eight inches and 80 pounds on Lucas. It looked quite ugly. 

Obviously, Stokes and Lucas were ejected from the game. Details are scarce as to what caused the scuffle and what further punishment might come their way.
