The NBA announced punishments stemming from the brawl during the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets game on Monday night, when four players were ejected from the game.
Moussa Diabate and Miles Bridges of the Hornets were sent to the showers early, along with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart of the Pistons, because of the fight. The league handed down suspensions for all four players on Wednesday.
Diabate and Bridges have both been suspended for four games, while Duren will sit for two games and Stewart receives seven games for his involvement.
Detroit currently holds the top spot in the Eastern Conference at 39-13 and has the second-best record in the NBA. Duren has become a large part of what’s been built in Detroit as the team’s starting center. He’s averaging 17.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game and has been a walking double-double. Duren is posting a double-double average for the third consecutive season.
