NBA Suspends Five Players Following Pistons-Timberwolves Scuffle
The NBA has handed down suspensions to five players involved in a heated altercation during Sunday’s game between the Detroit Pistons and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart received the longest suspension, sitting out **two games** for his role in the incident. Meanwhile, four other players—**Donte DiVincenzo, Ron Holland, Naz Reid, and Marcus Sasser**—have each been suspended **for one game**.
The scuffle erupted in the second half, leading to a brief stoppage in play as referees and team officials worked to diffuse tensions. The league cited “unsportsmanlike conduct” and “escalation of the situation” as key factors in determining the suspensions.
Both teams will have to adjust their lineups accordingly as they deal with the fallout from the altercation.
