Robin Lopez is generally a nice guy. During his visit to the Philippines a few years back, the NBA player was calm and laid back and was really receptive to his fans. So it was unexpected to see him in a scuffle in the Bulls’ game on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).
With under four minutes left in third quarter of the Bulls-Raptors game, Lopez engaged in a physical altercation with Raptors center Serge Ibaka. Both players threw an exchange of punches and were immediately thrown out of the game.

Good thing none of the punches landed on either of them, but both Lopez and Ibaka are sure to get fines and suspensions for the actions they did. The Bulls eventually lost to the Raptors in overtime, 122-120.
On an interesting note, Robin got ejected on the same day his twin brother Brook made a game-winning shot for the Brooklyn Nets.

At least one of the Lopezes made headlines the right way.
Were you surprised Robin Lopez got into a fight?
