The Magic’s Arron Afflalo has been suspended two games without pay by the NBA for fighting with the Timberwolves’ Nemanja Bjelica.
Afflalo, who played for the Knicks in the 2015-16 season, punched Bjelica in the head in the fight that took place with 7:28 left in the second quarter of the Magic’s 108-102 victory on Tuesday.
Though both players were ejected after Bjelica put Afflalo in a headlock, only Afflalo was punished Thursday by NBA executive vice president of operations Kiki VanDeWeghe.
Afflalo missed the Magic’s 104-103 loss at Cleveland on Thursday and won’t play in Sunday’s game at Boston.
