The Thunder’s Kendrick Perkins was not at all pleased with his teammate Thabo Sefolosha for inviting the Bulls’ Joakin Noah into the team’s locker room following Thursday’s 107-95. According to Royce White, Perkins kicked Noah out, going as far as telling him to, “Get your a** outta here.”
Thabo was apparently hanging in the Bulls locker room and then invited Noah to come in to the Thunder's while he finished interviews.

Joakim Noah just came in OKC's locker room hanging out with Thabo and Perk didn't like it. "We just let anyone in the locker room now?"

Noah: "You want me to leave, I'll leave." Perk: "Get your ass up out of here."

The exchange between Perk and Noah was really brief. It was kind of tense, but it didn't escalate to anything. Noah left when asked.

Pretty much all other Thunder players sided with Perk and seemed to be more unhappy with Thabo for inviting him into the locker room.
