Dallas Mavericks player Tim Thomas is an assault suspect in a melee that occurred early Wednesday at restaurant, according to witnesses and police records.

No arrests have been made in connection with the incident, which occured about 3 a.m. at the Denny’s restaurant in the 4400 block of North Central Expressway.

Police records give the following account of what happened:

Thomas, another man and three women entered the Denny’s. Damien Pettie, 29, recognized Thomas and told police that he stated, “What’s up?” Thomas told him not to talk to him, using curse words and racial and anti-gay epithets. Pettie responded with profanity.

The man with Thomas then struck Pettie twice in the face, busting his lip open. “Then all parties within both groups began to throw chairs, knock over tables, and fight each other” until the store manager told them he was going call police.

A suspect, identified as Thomas, threw a chair that struck Moya Kissick, striking her in her left side.

Thomas and his group then left the restaurant before police arrived.

Calls are out for comment from the Dallas Mavericks.

He's played well for us. Don't cut him Cuban: This is a basketball team, not a monastery.

[Findog]

And what the fuck was he doing at Denny's? Was there not a Cafe Brazil open that late?

[Dex]

LOL Denny's.

[lefty]

Cat fight !

[Fpoonsie]

And what the fuck was he doing at Denny's? Was there not a Cafe Brazil open that late?

:lol Not sure. I mean, sure, Denny's is pretty outstanding for Joe Everyman, but it does seem a lil unusual.

Any chance Thomas was simply miffed about ridin the bench that night? Otherwise, what's w/ tha 'tude?

[Findog]

I can see him telling some fan to "Shut the fuck up, faggot" and not talk to him. But throwing chairs? The fuck?

[Findog]

Nobody would've recognized him at a Cafe Brazil either if he didn't want to be bothered. Just a bunch of hipsters on their laptops.

[Greg Oden]

I know he's got a lot to learn, but he's a Maverick now. KFC only.

[Lakers999]

dont know if i should hate thomas for 06 or thank him

[lefty]

Is Damien Petite a nickname for Mark Cuban, who was ordered by Stern to do community work?

[The Gemini Method]

Nothing ever good comes out of Denny's at 3 in the morning...I have had to carry a drunk girl out of the bathroom once and have had a friend get mistakened for someone and shot. Luckily, he survived...I don't know what happened to the girl though, but she did throw up on my friends' shoes.

I mean, I understand Tim Thomas wanting his privacy, but to act the fool and throw a chair when he could politely nod the head and go on his All-American Slam way...

[monosylab1k]

He seems so chill and laid back, I don't see how he could muster the energy to throw a chair at someone.

[PGDynasty24]

Crazy shit happens at Denny's late at night sons.

[Cane]

Tim Thomas is trying to audition for the WWE thats all.

Typical Mavericks trash. Guilty as hell. What else can anyone expect from these lowlifes. These motherfuckers wouldn't recognize class if it shoved a telephone pole up their collective ass. Think David Robinson. Think San Antonio Spurs. Think NBA titles! :lobt2::lobt2::lobt2::lobt2:


And fucking learn something for a change.

These are the type of players the mavs have been needing over the years, not those tissue paper wanna be ballers. Bout time we thugged it up in Big D

[mavs>spurs2]

funny how big D is as of this year considered the most dangerous city in the US as far as violent crime in a recent FBI survey, yes even worse than NY and LA, yet our team over the years has a rep of being soft. I'm all for signing reggie evans and bringing karl malone and oakley out of retirement. we'll have a chair throwin, nut grabbin, nut punchin, wife beatin, elbow throwin jamboree.

[sribb43]

Tim was just hyped from being at WWE Raw on Monday that he wanted to tryout some moves he picked up from John Cena

I was suspicious of this, too.

But, who knows? I DO doubt that the "fan" simply said "What's up?" to Tim to warrant that kind've response.

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Dallas Maverick's forward Tim Thomas set off a fight at a Dallas area Denny's by allegedly calling several restaurant patrons "faggots." When Thomas later made derogatory remark about gay people, 29-year-old Damien Pettie responded by saying "What the hell did you say?"

The DMN goes on to report Pettie saying:

“As Tim continued to instigate the situation, one of the guys hit me in my mouth. Another one of his friends hit me. They pushed me down onto a table.”

Pettie says he picked up a chair to defend himself. One of the men who hit him in the face then picked up a chair and threw it, he said. Pettie said he caught the chair, but not before it Kissick.

“It was juvenile,” said Pettie.

“It was like a bunch of high school kids. It reminded me of high school. The popular kids picking on lower classmen. That’s how they acted. (Thomas) acted like a big bully kid in high school. "

When the restaurant manager called police, Thomas and his companions left before police arrived. An appearance by Thomas for today was canceled.

Pettie noted that while he himself is not gay, several of the friends with him are lesbians.

Donnie Nelson, the Mavericks' general manager and president of basketball operations claimed the media accounts of the fight were "way, way overblown." Nelson also claimed Thomas left as soon as the confrontation began to get out of control.

And while Nelson denied Thomas threw a chair, he had nothing to say about the use of the anti-gay slurs.
