The NBA has suspended five players following a brawl during the Minnesota Timberwolves' 123-104 victory over the Detroit Pistons. Detroit's Isaiah Stewart received a two-game suspension due to his involvement and history of unsportsmanlike conduct, while Ron Holland II and Marcus Sasser from the Pistons, along with Minnesota's Donte DiVincenzo and Naz Reid, were each suspended for one game.
