As with the clash between Marcus Smart and Trae Young, the NBA has decided to distinguish the penalties for the start of the fight between Trey Lyles and Brook Lopez. Thus the strong winger of the Kings receives a match suspension without pay, while the pivot of the Bucks gets away with a fine of 25,000 dollars. Why such a difference ?
According to the report of the Disciplinary Committee, “The incident started when Lyles fouled and then pushed Giannis Antetokounmpo in the back. Lopez made things worse by going after Lyles. Lyles made the situation even worse by punching Lopez in the face and grabbing him by the neck. »
Trey Lyles will serve his game suspension tonight when the Kings travel to Chicago.
