Danny Granger, Channing Frye Suspended One Game
Filed under: Pacers , Suns Saturday night’s altercation between the Suns and the Pacers will have lingering consequences for both teams, the league said in a release on Tuesday. Channing Frye and Danny Granger each received a one-game suspension, and several others were fined for their roles in the scuffle. Earl Watson of the Pacers was fined $30,000 for “instigating and adding to the escalation of an on-court incident,” while Roy Hibbert and Jason Richardson are each $25,000 lighter in the wallet for “adding to the escalation of an on-court incident.” Interestingly enough, Watson was the one that seemed to get things started, yet Granger, who came to his defense after Frye took it immediately to playoff level, was the one who received the suspension. None of the Pacers’ remaining games matter in terms of having postseason implications, so the suspension to Granger — which will be enforced for tonight’s game against the Sixers — isn’t really that big of a deal. Frye’s suspension, however? That one will come this Friday, when the Suns, who currently sit at fifth in the West, will host the conference’s top-seeded Lakers . ? Permalink ?|? Email this ?|?
