The NBA on Sunday issued a two-game suspension for Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams due to his role in an on-court brawl, and Jose Alvarado of the New Orleans Pelicans received two games of suspension.
In Phoenix’s 123-114 victory over New Orleans on Saturday, the incident occurred with 2: 06 left in the third quarter.
Williams was set for a pick, but Alvarado did it defensively. Williams and the smaller Pelicans standout grabbed Williams, spun him around, and swung punches at him as teammates from both sides attempted to end the fight. Williams was then shoved in Alvarado in the back.
