NBA Suspends Kings Guard Dennis Schröder for Three Games Over Postgame Confrontation

U.S. reports say he confronted Luka Dončić after taunts about a past Lakers contract.

Overview

  • The league said Schröder initiated a corridor confrontation roughly 40 minutes after Sacramento’s Dec. 28 loss in Los Angeles and attempted to strike an opponent.
  • He will miss the Kings’ next three games against the Rockets, Lakers and Knicks, with the ban effective immediately.
  • Based on his season salary, he forfeits about $291,807 during the suspension.
  • ESPN reporting identifies Dončić as the other player and says Lakers center Deandre Ayton stepped in before security intervened.
  • Sacramento’s skid has reached seven straight defeats, leaving the Kings last in the Western Conference.
