New York Knicks forward Quincy Acy was suspended for one game Friday after a foul that sparked an altercation with Washington's John Wall in a Thursday loss.
Acy was whistled for a flagrant foul and ejected for his role in the incident, which took place with 5:31 remaining in the fourth quarter of Washington's 102-91 victory over the Knicks at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Wall was fined $US15,000 ($A16,000) for pushing Acy and escalating the incident after being fouled. Teammates had to keep the rivals apart after the incident.
Acy will miss the Knicks' game Saturday at Sacramento.
At 20-8, the Wizards rank third in the Eastern Conference and only one game behind Atlanta in the Southeast division.
The Knicks, 5-26 after their sixth loss in a row, own the second-worst record in the NBA, with only cellar-dwelling Philadelphia, 4-23, below them.
