Miami's Jimmy Butler and New Orleans' Naji Marshall have been suspended one game apiece for instigating an on-court altercation, the NBA announced Sunday.
The incident happened during the Heat-Pelicans game Friday night. Miami's Thomas Bryant and New Orleans' Jose Alvarado were both handed three-game suspensions for fighting and leaving the bench area.
Miami's Nikola Jovic also got a one-game suspension for leaving the bench area and entering the altercation, the league said.
Butler, who did not think he should have been ejected, will lose nearly $260,000 US in base salary because of his suspension.
