The NBA fined Brooklyn Nets swingman Trendon Watford and Indiana Pacers forward Myles Turner $35,000 each on Friday for an altercation Thursday night.
Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard also was fined $20,000 for his role in initiating the altercation in the Pacers’ 105-99 overtime victory over the Nets Thursday night in Indianapolis.
None of the players, however, were suspended.
Tensions erupted with about five minutes left in the fourth quarter when Watford ran toward Nembhard after a made basket and hit him with a forearm to the chest. Watford also shoved Turner after he ran toward the scuffle.
Players and team personnel joined the fracas, but it did not escalate further.
The fines were announced in a late night press release Friday...
The two teams play again Saturday afternoon at the Gainsbridge Fieldhouse.
