Utah Jazz player Jordan Clarkson was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Saturday, and Ron Holland II and Paul Reed of the Detroit Pistons were also punished for their roles in an altercation between the Jazz and Pistons.
Clarkson received the biggest penalty for escalating an altercation on the field and throwing his headband into the stands after being sent off.
Holland II was also cited for escalating the altercation and fined $25,000, while Reed was fined $15,000 for initiating it.
Reed appeared to push Clarkson on his way back down the court after a basket with 1:37 left in Utah’s 126-119 win at Detroit on Thursday. Holland and Clarkson then exchanged words and had to be separated, and both players were sent off.
