Earlier this week, a game between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers went heated when a hard foul was called on one of the players.
Wayne Ellington of the Los Angeles Lakers was pushed by Nuggets guard Facundo Campazzo from behind. As a result, the Lakers guard was forced to hit the court and land on the leg of one of his teammates.
Following a few days of deliberation, the NBA announced that Campazzo will be suspended for one game.
