New York Knicks forward Quincy Acy and Washington Wizards guard John Wall were involved in an altercation late in the Wizards' 102-91 win on Christmas Day, leading to a suspension for Acy and a fine for Wall.
Per Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports, Acy received a one-game suspension for leveling Wall with his body when the guard attempted to get to the rim and subsequently appearing to throw a punch at Wall in the ensuing melee:
Knicks' Quincy Acy suspended 1 game without pay for committing a Flagrant Foul Two which initiated an altercation with Wizards' John Wall.

However, Wall's pocketbook is $15,000 lighter after responding to Acy's foul with a shove:
Wizards' John Wall has been fined $15,000 for pushing New York's Quincy Acy and escalating the incident.

After the game, Acy told the press, via Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com, that he didn't actually throw a punch, but that he "got up and reacted, then I just grabbed him."
