NEW YORK -- New York Knicks forward Clarence Weatherspoon and San Antonio Spurs forward-center Kevin Willis were suspended for one game without pay by the NBA on Tuesday for fighting.
Weatherspoon also was fined $20,000 and will miss New York's game against Toronto on Wednesday. Willis will sit out the San Antonio's game Tuesday night at Washington.
Weatherspoon and Willis were disciplined for their fight late in the third quarter of the game Monday night won by the Knicks 96-95. Willis was suspended for retaliating with a punch.
Weatherspoon held onto Willis after New York's Michael Doleac hit a jumper and pushed him into the first row of seats. The two exchanged shoves before they were ejected. After Willis left, Weatherspoon made a move toward the locker room before being restrained. |
