MIAMI (AP) — Caleb Martin's scuffle with Christian Koloko will keep him out of the Miami-Toronto rematch on Monday night. Martin has been suspended for one game by the NBA, after the league determined he was the instigator in a scuffle with Koloko that spilled into the baseline seats near the Miami bench during a Heat-Raptors game on Saturday.

Also suspended: Heat rookie Nikola Jovic, who was found to have left the bench area during the incident. Koloko was fined $15,000 for grabbing Martin during the altercation.

The league handed down the penalties Sunday night. Martin and Jovic will miss Monday's Raptors-Heat game. Both Martin and Koloko were whistled for technical fouls and ejected from Saturday's matchup. “Overall, I've got to be more professional in the way that I handle those type of situations," Martin said Saturday night, after Miami held on for a 112-109 victory.

Jovic hasn't even made his NBA regular-season debut yet. Martin will lose about $44,700 in salary for his suspension, Jovic about $15,500.
