- Four other players—Ron Holland and Marcus Sasser from the Pistons, and Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo from the Timberwolves—received one-game suspensions.
- The altercation began with a foul by Holland on Reid, escalating into a physical confrontation that extended into the stands and involved multiple players.
- All five players, along with Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff and Timberwolves assistant coach Pablo Prigioni, were ejected from the game.
