NBA Suspends Kings’ Dennis Schröder Three Games Over Reported Hallway Confrontation

Starting Sunday, the ban removes a key rotation guard from three straight Kings games, including a rematch with the Lakers.

Overview

  • The league said Schröder confronted and attempted to strike another player about 40 minutes after Sacramento’s Dec. 28 loss at Crypto.com Arena, seeking the player out in a hallway.
  • Reporting by Chris Haynes identified the other player as Lakers star Luka Dončić, who will not be disciplined by the NBA.
  • The suspension begins against the Rockets and also covers the Kings’ games versus the Lakers and Knicks.
  • ESPN’s Bobby Marks estimated Schröder will forfeit $291,807 in salary during the three-game ban.
  • Accounts from ESPN detailed that Deandre Ayton and security intervened, and Schröder later commented “Attempting” on social media after news of the suspension.
