Days after Rockets forward Trevor Ariza and teammates waited outside the Mavs’ locker room to confront center Salah Mejri, the NBA has completed its investigation, per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle. There will be no penalties for Mejri or Ariza following their on-court altercation and postgame near-standoff.
According to sources, Mejri allegedly made a derogatory comment about Ariza’s family in a chippy contest featuring eight technical fouls and two flagrant fouls. Ariza was ejected in the game, but the trash-talk during the game and ensuing conflict after it is more glaring than the Rockets completing the season sweep of the Mavericks.
