Atlanta Hawks star guard Trae Young was upset with a play from Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen during their game on Saturday.
The particular play that had Young upset was when he was coming off a screen with Allen trailing behind him. Young tried to escape a double team when it appeared that Allens’ foot became tangled with Youngs’ and caused him to stumble. Although it might have looked innocent, the All-Star guard did not think so.
After the game, Young posted a gif of the play and said, “Damn…. tell me what ya’ll see!!.” The All-Star would then hashtag the tweet with “#ifyoudontknownowyouknow.”
The Grizzlies guard quoted the tweet and give a sarcastic response, “Damn, that must’ve really really hurt, I’m sorry, I hope you’re okay.”

Even if it was unintentional, Allen has a reputation for tripping opponents since his time with Duke University. In 2017, he was disciplined by Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski for repeated tripping. The two have a prior history with one another. In the 2018 summer league, both-then rookies got into a scuffle. In this year’s preseason game, Young shoved Allen and received a technical for doing so.
