A few days after the fight, when BiH basketball representative Jusuf Nurkić earned three, and Dallas basketball player Naji Marshall four game suspensions, similar scenes were repeated in the NBA league.
Namely, there was an incident in Houston at the game between the home Rockets and the Miami Heat, which ended with a total of six expulsions, including Houston’s coach.
In the last minute of the game, which Miami won 104:100, home player Amen Thompson and Heat star Tyler Herro got in each other’s faces, and then Thompson grabbed his rival and threw him to the floor. The players of both teams, as well as some members of the coaching staff, immediately came running and suddenly everyone was in a heap, except for Herro, who stood up and looked confusedly at his attacker to fight back.

However, security quickly separated the warring sides and the game came to an end, but only after the referees handed out six suspensions. In addition to the duo that brought everything to a boil, Houston’s Jalen Green, coach Ime Udoka and his assistant Ben Sullivan, and Miami’s player Terry Rozier were kicked out. Moments earlier, in a separate incident, Houston’s Fred VanVleet was also ejected.
After the boxing match between Nurkic and Marshall, this conflict was more reminiscent of wrestling or MMA, but it will also have an epilogue in numerous suspensions, which the NBA league will probably announce during the day.
