Details of what exactly went down between Derek Fisher and Matt Barnes after Barnes stormed into his house after finding out Fisher was sleeping with his wife are starting to be revealed.
A family member we was there gave their version of events to TMZ.
Barnes was heated from the moment he walked in the door and saw his former Lakers teammate in the home.
We’re told Barnes berated Fisher for dating his estranged wife Gloria Govan — saying he felt disrespected because they’ve been good friends for years. The witness says Barnes made it clear he felt betrayed by Fish.
Fisher stood up to Barnes and an argument broke out — the witness tells us Barnes threw a punch that hit Derek square in the mouth.
We’re told Derek fought back and “was holding his own” — until several people, including Gloria, rushed in to try to break it up.
The family member goes on to say that the fight only stopped when one of Barnes’ sons begged them to stop.
It is also being reported that both men were bloody and bruised after the altercation. This meshes with what our source who told us that Barnes didn’t really know the depth of his wife and Fisher’s relationship until the night of the altercation.
