The Atlanta Hawks guard produced a highlight reel and dunked on Banchero. Murray then trash-talked the former Duke prospect after the play and was also heard calling him a 'little boy.'Their altercation extended on social media when Banchero revealed Murray unfollowed him on Instagram and asked him to guard him 1v1 next time. Murray's response to the same seemed to indicate a beef between the two as he said that he lost respect for Banchero after their altercation.However, the latest incident involving the duo in Seattle seemed to suggest the opposite.
