NBA Suspends Mavs’ Naji Marshall, P.J. Washington for On-Court Altercation

Dallas Mavericks forwards Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington will miss Saturday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers after the NBA suspended the pair for their roles in an on-court altercation Friday night against the Phoenix Suns.

The NBA suspended Marshall four games without pay and Washington one game without pay.

The altercation occurred at the 9:02 mark of the third quarter of the Mavs’ 98-89 win over the Suns in Phoenix. It involved old Blazers buddy Jusuf Nurkic, now the center for the Suns, who was suspended three games — also without pay — for his contributions to the altercation.
