Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians shone some light on the situation following their 28-24 win against the New York Jets in the postgame press conference.
Mentioning that he asked Brown to enter the game and upon the player's persistent disapproval to do so, Arians was forced to ask him to leave the premises.
Arians additionally mentioned that Antonio Brown would no longer be a part of the franchise, although he is technically still a part of the official roster.
Antonio Brown at the Memphis Grizzlies vs Brooklyn Nets game
Having already played in New York, Antonio Brown followed up Sunday's antics by making an appearance in Brooklyn as the Brooklyn Nets hosted the Memphis Grizzlies.
Billed as the marquee matchup of the night, the up-and-coming Memphis Grizzlies, led by Ja Morant, were eager to take on the Brooklyn Nets, who were on a bit of a slide.
Considering the Grizzlies' current form, along with the spectacular talent of Ja Morant being put on full display throughout the week, they had all the momentum heading into this game.

The talented backcourt of the Grizzlies would put on a show again as Morant and Desmond Bane combined for 65 points. Following up with a 118-104 win against the Nets, the Memphis Grizzlies also handed Brooklyn their third loss in a row, including their second consecutive loss at home.
Having outrebounded the Nets 61-33, Memphis dominated for the majority of the game. With the Grizzlies leading by 28 points early in the fourth quarter, the Brooklyn Nets managed to go on a 17-2 run to make the game closer.
Unfortunately, these efforts would come up short as Desmond Bane made some key buckets to keep the Grizzlies ahead.
Although the Brooklyn Nets saw a solid outing from Kevin Durant, who recorded 26 points for the game, the rest of the lineup fell short on the scoring and rebounding front.
On the back of another win, the Memphis Grizzlies have extended their winning streak to five games. With a 24-14 record, the supercharged Memphis side will look to continue their dominance as they travel to Cleveland to face the Cleveland Cavaliers next.
