PHOENIX -- Suns center Jusuf Nurkic and Dallas Mavericks forwards Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington were ejected from Friday night's game after a brief fight between the players.
Nurkic was called for an offensive foul while being guarded by Daniel Gafford with 9:02 left in the third quarter before the altercation quickly escalated. Nurkic confronted Marshall before taking an open-handed swing at his head and then Marshall responded with a punch. Washington quickly shoved Nurkic to the ground before the teams were separated.
The referees reviewed the play before deciding that all three players would be ejected.
