Amen Thompson Suspended 2 Games, Terry Rozier Suspended 1 Game For Roles In Rockets-heat Fight
The NBA has suspended Houston's Amen Thompson for two games and Miami's Terry Rozier for one game over their roles in a skirmish in the final moments of the Rockets-Heat game on Sunday night.
The league also handed out 145,000 in fines from that game. Houston coach Ime Udoka was fined 50,000 for verbally abusing a game official and not leaving the court in a timely manner, while the Rockets' Jalen Green was fined 35,000 and Miami's Tyler Herro was fined 25,000 for their roles in the fight.
And from a separate incident just before the dustup, Houston's Fred VanVleet was fined 35,000 for making contact with referee Marc Davis.
Because of the suspensions, Rozier will lose about 143,242 in salary and Thompson will lose about 127,586 from his salary.
It was a wild final minute of that game, with seven ejections - VanVleet, Thompson, Rozier, Udoka, Houston assistant coach Ben Sullivan, Green and Herro - taking place. VanVleet was the first to go, getting thrown out for making contact with Davis following a 5-second call being assessed against the Rockets.
