The NBA has suspended Heat forward James Johnson and Raptors forward Serge Ibaka one game each without pay for exchanging punches in Tuesday night's game in Toronto.

Ibaka and Johnson were ejected after trading punches at 7:50 of the third quarter. The skirmish began when the two started shoving one another while waiting for the ball to be inbounded under the Miami basket. Officials reviewed the incident before giving both players technical fouls and ejections.

Johnson will sit out Wednesday night's game against the Indiana Pacers. Ibaka will serve his suspension Thursday when Toronto hosts the Cleveland Cavaliers.
