The NBA announced today that Suns big man Alex Len has been suspended one game for leaving the bench during an altercation in Wednesday’s game against Memphis. Len will serve the suspension tonight when the Suns host the Bulls.
As a result of the incident, which took place with just over a minute left in Wednesday’s game, Tyler Ulis and Marquese Chriss of the Suns, along with Troy Daniels of the Grizzlies, were fined $15K apiece. Len, meanwhile, will be docked 1/110th of his salary for the one-game suspension, which works out to just under $44K.
With Len out of action tonight, Tyson Chandler, Chriss, and Alan Williams are all candidates to see an uptick in playing time.
