The league decided to disqualify five players following this fight.
Miami center Thomas Bryant and New Orleans guard Jose Alvarado were suspended for three games for leaving the bench during a fight. Heat forward Jimmy Butler and his Pelicans counterpart Najee Marshall were suspended for one game for their direct involvement in the brawl.
