The NBA announced Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas was suspended for two games for entering the stands to speak to fans during Saturday night’s game at the Philadelphia 76ers.
Earlier Sunday, the 76ers announced the two fans who prompted Thomas to enter the stands were banned from the Wells Fargo Center for 12 months.
“NBA rules state that any player who deliberately enters the spectator stands during a game will be automatically ejected and subject to a fine and/or suspension,” the league said in a statement.
