The NBA has suspended Kings forward Trey Lyles and fined Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez following their altercation in Monday’s game at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
NBA executive vice president and head of basketball operations Joe Dumars announced Lyles has been suspended one game without pay and Lopez has been fined $25,000 for their roles in the fracas. Lyles will serve his suspension when the Kings face the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday at United Center.
The altercation occurred in the final seconds of the Bucks’ 133-124 victory over the Kings on Monday. While dribbling out the clock, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo crossed directly in front of Lyles, creating unnecessary contact. That led to a confrontation between Lyles and Lopez, both of whom were ejected.
