The NBA has issued disciplinary actions following an altercation between New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson and Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels in Game 6 of their first-round series.

 

NBA Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations James Jones announced on Saturday (PH time) that Robinson has been fined $50,000 for his role in the on-court altercation, while Daniels has been fined $25,000. (Robinson's fine takes into account inappropriate comments he made on social media regarding the incident after the game.)

 

 

The incident occurred with 4:39 remaining in the second quarter of Game 6 of the first-round playoff series between the Knicks and Hawks — a game New York won 140-89. 

 

Robinson and Daniels became entangled while jostling for position during a free throw. The situation escalated into a physical confrontation, during which game officials and Knicks head coach Mike Brown were both knocked to the ground while attempting to intervene.

 

After reviewing the video, the referees ejected both players.
