Five players have been suspended following the altercation between the Pistons and Timberwolves that took place in Minnesota on Sunday, the league announced Tuesday in a press release.

Those suspensions are as follows:
Isaiah Stewart (Pistons): Two games
Ron Holland (Pistons): One game
Marcus Sasser (Pistons): One game
Naz Reid (Timberwolves): One game
Donte DiVincenzo (Timberwolves): One game
All five players were ejected from Sunday’s game following an on-court incident that occurred midway through the second quarter.
Holland, who tried to swipe the ball away from Reid as he drove to the basket, was called for a foul and was immediately confronted by the Timberwolves big man, who yelled at the Pistons forward and repeatedly jabbed his finger at him.
DiVincenzo quickly entered the mix and he and Holland shoved one another, leading to a scrum that spilled into the stands along the baseline.
As those three players fell into the stands, Sasser and Stewart entered the fray and shoved Reid and DiVincenzo, resulting in a “continued escalation” of the situation, per the NBA.
In addition to those five players, the game’s officials ejected Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff and Timberwolves assistant Pablo Prigioni. However, neither coach was mentioned in Tuesday’s announcement, so it appears they won’t face any additional discipline from the NBA.
According to the league, Stewart received an extra game due in part to his “repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts.”
He’ll miss Wednesday’s game in Oklahoma City and Friday’s contest in Toronto, while his teammates Holland and Sasser will only have to sit out on Wednesday. Reid and DiVincenzo will serve their suspensions on Tuesday when the Wolves face the Nuggets in Denver.
As Bobby Marks of ESPN tweets, Stewart’s two-game suspension will cost him $206,897, which represents 2/145ths of his $15M salary for 2024/25.
Holland ($46,812), Sasser ($15,834), Reid ($80,283), and DiVincenzo ($65,776) will lose 1/174th of their respective salaries for this season.
