Dillon Brooks and Donovan Mitchell’s on-court altercation briefly wreaked havoc during the Cavaliers’ 128-113 win over the Grizzlies on Thursday and now the NBA has issued its consequences.
Brooks, who appeared to instigate the clash, has been suspended for one game. Mitchell will be fined $20,000, according to a statement from the league on Friday.
The league's statement confirmed that Brooks struck Mitchell in the groin area in an "unsportsmanlike manner" after missing a layup and falling to the floor. In response, Mitchell threw the game ball and pushed Brooks.
