Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkiu0107 was suspended for three games without pay by the NBA earlier today for his altercation with two Dallas Mavericks players in yesterday’s 98-89 home loss.
In the third quarter of yesterday’s contest against Dallas, tensions flared up after Nurkiu0107 had a hard offensive foul on PJ Washington. After the foul, Naji Marshall appeared to exchange words with Nurkiu0107, which led to their exchanging of punches, followed by Washington’s shove.
