The NBA handed out fines on Friday to New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson and Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels for their on-court altercation the night before.
Robinson was docked $50,000 and Daniels was fined $25,000. NBA head of basketball operations James Jones announced that Robinson's figure was increased because of 'an inappropriate post on social media in reference to the incident postgame.'
In the middle of the second quarter of the Knicks' series-clinching 140-89 win in Game 6 of an Eastern Conference first-round series at Atlanta, Robinson and Daniels became tied up as they jockeyed for a rebound. The NBA wrote in a statement, 'Both players escalated the altercation with Robinson continuing to aggressively pursue Daniels after the players had been separated.'
As other players came into the scrum, apparently looking to get the two main combatants away from each other, a referee was knocked down.
Robinson and Daniels were each given a technical foul and ejected from the game.
The Knicks advanced to face either the Boston Celtics or the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The latter two teams will play Game 7 in Boston on Saturday.
