CAMPBELL Brown is facing the sack after a drunken punch left Suns teammate Steven May with a suspected broken jaw.
The Suns have lost patience with the veteran forward after his second overseas fight in three years.
Brown is alleged to have punched May after a night of drinking in Los Angeles following the club's altitude camp in Arizona.
The Suns have been told the told the punch was unprovoked and May did not retaliate.
Hawthorn premiership player Josh Gibson is also believed to have been present. The players were given two days R and R during which they took in an Arizona Cardinals NFL game and also visited Las Vegas.
It was reported the argument between Brown and May flared up over a restaurant, bill but the Suns have not heard that version.
Brown is not a big drinker and his off-field record is reasonably clean, but the Suns will not tolerate the latest incident if the allegations May was king-hit are true.
Glenn McFarlane and Jay Clark say Campbell Brown may have played his last game after an off-field incident in Los Angeles.
No other players were involved but there were five other Suns present. These players will arrive back on the Coast on Friday and have been summoned immediately to the club.
They will be grilled extensively and Brown's only hope of extending his 205-game career is if an alternative version of events arises from those interviews.
Brown and May have struck a truce and shared a flight back to Australia after being ordered home.
They were grilled by football manager Marcus Ashcroft on Thursday. It is not known how Brown defended himself.
BAD BOY BROWN'S LONG RAP SHEET
Neither Ashcroft or CEO Travis Auld returned calls but the club issued a brief statement confirming the incident took place."The club is in the process of establishing exactly what happened and all other relevant facts, and is discussing the matter with the two players concerned, who have since returned to the Gold Coast ahead of their teammates,'' the statement said.
"The Gold Coast Suns are considering appropriate actions and will not make further comment at this stage in relation to the incident.''
Brown remains a favourite of the fans and media because of his open and engaging manner but the Suns are concerned at his volatile temperament.
He was demoted from the leadership group after becoming involved in a brawl in Thailand at the end of the 2011 season.
He was spared further punishment then because he had intervened to help teammate Maverick Weller, who had become embroiled in a fight.

During the 2012 pre-season he had to be separated from Weller after an argument at training.
Brown has always walked a tightrope because of his poor on-field disciplinary record.
The 30-year-old is the most-suspended player in the game and was set to start his second consecutive season on the sidelines after being rubbed out for a month for kicking Melbourne player James Strauss in the head at Metricon Stadium last season.
He was suspended for four weeks in his second game for the Suns in 2011 after incidents with Bulldogs players Callan Ward and Barry Hall, and started this season with a six-week ban for a shirt-front on Adelaide player Aiden Riley.
