A total of 11 players were sanctioned by the NBA on Thursday after an altercation the day before during the meeting between the Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic (121-101), including French leader Killian Hayes, who suffered three games suspension.
The incident occurred before halftime, as Orlando insider Moritz “Moe” Wagner and Hayes battled for the ball along the sideline: the former sent the Detroit point guard waltzing off the field.
Hayes got revenge by hitting his opponent behind the head, obviously groggy.
Meanwhile, Hamidou Diallo, of the Pistons, had come to the rescue of his French teammate, like many Orlando players.
