‘Peacemaker’ Bucks coach won’t be fined for role in Kanter fracas

SALT LAKE CITY — The NBA will not fine Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham for his “actions’’ during the fracas between Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Knicks’ Enes Kanter on Thursday night, according to a league source.

The NBA reviewed the incident involving Antetokounmpo and Kanter, during which Ham ran onto the court and bumped into the Knicks center from behind. The NBA source said Ham “acted as a peacemaker to separate the players. We determined that no further action is needed for any party.”

Even before the decision, Knicks coach David Fizdale wasn’t lobbying to see a fellow coach fined or suspended.
