Former Kentucky standout and NBA forward Terrence Jones, who now plays for TNT KaTropa of the Philippine Basketball Association, was involved in a wild game Sunday at the 2019 PBA Commissioner's Cup tournament.

It all started when Jones was knocked to the ground by Calvin Abueva of the Phoenix Pulse. Jones responded by hitting Abueva in the groin and then dancing to Yung Joc's "It's Goin' Down" during a timeout.

After play resumed, Abueva hit Jones with a clothesline and then busted out some dance moves of his own as Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady" played over the speakers.

Abueva was ejected from the game and has since been suspended indefinitely, according to ESPN's Philip Matel. He was also fined P70,000, some of which was due to a separate incident.

Additionally, referee Bing Oliva was suspended for 10 game days for missing what the league said should have been called a flagrant-2 foul on Jones for hitting Abueva in the groin.
