As per Quoc Thai’s article which ran earlier today:
“At the end of the D-League game vs. Bakersfield Jam, Montrezl Harrell got into a physical fight with Derek Cooke, an undrafted big man out of Wyoming. Cooke initiated the confrontation when he shoved Harrell. When an official stepped in, the Houston Rockets’ second round pick pushed him, which resulted in the official falling on his back.”
Well it took very little time for the National Basketball Referees Association to respond and indeed the punishment is severe – – 5 games. Also, Montrezl Harrell will not be able to return to play with the main club until his D-League suspension has run it’s course.
