NBA Suspends Kings Guard Dennis Schröder Three Games for Postgame Confrontation

The penalty stems from a tunnel confrontation about 40 minutes after Sacramento’s Dec. 28 loss in Los Angeles.

Overview

  • The suspension takes effect Sunday when Sacramento hosts Houston, with Schröder also out for games against the Lakers and Knicks.
  • The league did not identify the other player, though multiple outlets report it was Luka Dončić.
  • The NBA said Schröder confronted a player in a tunnel roughly 40 minutes after the 125-101 defeat at Crypto.com Arena and attempted to hit him.
  • ESPN reporting cited by Eurohoops says security intervened and Lakers center Deandre Ayton helped defuse the situation as Dončić left with his father.
  • Schröder, 32, is averaging about 13.0 points, 5.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds this season, leaving Sacramento to adjust its guard rotation during his absence.
