At least two Indiana Pacers were involved in an incident outside an Orlando nightclub early this morning, according to media reports.
About 2:45 a.m. this morning, Orlando police reportedly responded to Club 23, where a small crowd had gathered around Danny Granger and Kyrylo Fesenko, WXIN (Channel 59) reports on its website, citing the celebrity news website TMZ.

The incident began when at least one club-goer accused Kyrylo Fesenko of "bumping into him," TMZ reports. The man apparently began yelling at Fesenko, who began to walk away when a mob formed around him and began to yell.
At that point, Pacers teammate Danny Granger charged toward the gathered crowd, but Granger's friends held him back, TMZ reports.
TMZ posted what appears to be a cell phone video showing the entire incident.
The incident fizzled shortly after a police bike patrol arrived and the Pacers walked away.
The Star is seeking comment from the Pacers, but WXIN (Channel 59) said the team released the following statement:
"Our players were provoked into a verbal confrontation and ended up walking away from the confrontation. To make something more out of this than what it was is ludicrous."
