A fracas broke out during the third quarter of Friday's game between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns, a 98-89 victory for Dallas at Footprint Center.
With 9:02 remaining in the third period, Suns center Jusuf Nurkic received the ball in the post and, as he was backing down Mavericks big man Daniel Gafford, extended his arm and made contact with Gafford's face, knocking him to the ground. Nurkic was whistled for a foul.
