Kings’ Lyles suspended 1 game; Bucks’ Lopez fined $25,000
By The Associated Press on March 15, 2023.
NEW YORK – Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles was suspended one game without pay and Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez was fined $25,000 for their involvement in an altercation at the end of a game Monday night, the NBA announced Wednesday. Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo was dribbling out the clock in the final minute of the Bucks’ 133-124 victory over the Kings when he was fouled by the Saskatoon-born Lyles, who then pushed the two-time MVP. Lopez then confronted Lyles. Lyles struck Lopez in the face and grabbed and held the 7-footer around the neck area. Both players were ejected from the game. Lyles will serve his suspension Wednesday when the Kings visit the Chicago Bulls. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports 7-6
