The NBA has handed down a pair of suspensions in the aftermath of the brawl during Sunday's game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Washington Wizards.
Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell and Wizards forward Justin Champagnie were each suspended one game without pay for "fighting and escalating an on-court altercation which spilled over into the spectator stands," per a league announcement.
Additionally, Thunder forward Jaylin Williams was fined $50,000. Oklahoma City guard Cason Wallace and Washington forward Anthony Gill were also fined $35,000.
Each of Mitchell, Champagnie, Williams and Wallace were ejected in what ended as a 132-11 Thunder victory.
The scuffle broke out following a made shot by Gill, when Williams and Champagnie began shoving each other under the basket. Gill and Mitchell became involved and the altercation quickly escalated and spilled into the seating area behind the basket before order was restored.
Champagnie will serve his suspension on Sunday night as the Wizards take on the New York Knicks, and Mitchell will serve his when the Thunder visit the Philadelphia 76ers on March 23.
