The Auburn men’s basketball team’s flight to Houston had to be grounded shortly after takeoff Friday because of a scuffle involving two Tigers players, sources confirmed to ESPN.

The Auburn team’s replacement flight took off for Houston late Friday night, sources told ESPN.
University officials did not respond to a request for comment.
