DeMar DeRozan Goes Viral After Restaurant Altercation Caught on Camera

July 05, 2025: NBA star DeMar DeRozan is going viral after an alleged dramatic altercation at a restaurant reportedly ended in chaos, with glassware and utensils scattered across the restaurant, and one man leaving in an ambulance.

According to TMZ, the incident began when a man aggressively shoved a phone with a bright light into DeRozan’s face while he was dining. In the now-viral video, DeRozan is supposedly even knocking the phone out of the man’s hand in a clear attempt to defuse the situation, but things quickly escalated.

DeRozan, known for keeping a relatively low profile off the court, rarely makes headlines for off-court drama, making this viral incident all the more surprising.

Apparently, witnesses claim that after the phone slap, the pair exchanged words before getting physical. The restaurant’s atmosphere seemingly turned tense as the scuffle allegedly led to tables being overturned and glassware shattering across the floor. Sources say the man involved in the altercation sustained injuries during the confrontation and had to be removed from the premises by ambulance. His condition remains unknown, and no statements have been released regarding potential charges.

As TMZ further claims, the video seemingly ends with DeRozan appearing to back into a different section of the establishment, possibly to distance himself from the escalating situation.

His reps have reportedly yet to comment on the incident, and it’s unclear whether any further action will be taken.
