NBA Suspends Rozier, Thompson After Altercation

The NBA has suspended Amen Thompson for two games and Terry Rozier for one game due to their involvement in a fight during the Houston Rockets vs. Miami Heat game. The altercation began when Thompson pulled Tyler Herro to the ground, leading to a multi-player scuffle that resulted in the ejection of several players, including Jalen Green, and coaches Ime Udoka and Ben Sullivan. In addition to the suspensions, Herro and Green were fined $25,000 and $35,000 respectively, while Udoka received a $50,000 fine for verbal abuse of a referee. The incident occurred with under a minute left in the game, after a controversial ejection of Rockets guard Fred VanVleet. Rozier is expected to return for the Heat's game against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. This event highlights ongoing tensions in the league regarding player conduct.
