For their roles in an altercation during the Wizards-Thunder game on Saturday night, Washington’s Justin Champagnie and Oklahoma City’s Ajay Mitchell were suspended one game without pay for fighting, the NBA announced on Sunday.
Champagnie will sit out Sunday night’s road game against the New York Knicks. Mitchell will serve his suspension Monday when the Thunder visit the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Thunder’s Jaylin Williams was fined $50,000, while teammate Cason Wallace and the Wizards’ Anthony Gill received $35,000 fines for their roles in the incident.
Mitchell, Williams and Wallace, along with Champagnie, received technical fouls and were ejected from the game, a 132-111 road victory for Oklahoma City. The altercation occurred late in the first half and spilled over into the stands before order was restored.
