Timberwolves vs Pistons: How Much Will Suspensions Cost Players?

In this story:
On Tuesday, the NBA officially announced the punishment for several players who were involved in the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves scrap during Sunday’s slate.
Not only will several players miss action, but those suspensions will come without pay. It turns out that Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will not get what he hoped for after telling reporters that fines over suspensions would’ve been the right call, in his opinion.
Who’s Suspended for the Pistons?
- Isaiah Stewart
- Marcus Sasser
- Ron Holland

Sasser and Holland will miss Detroit’s Wednesday night matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Isaiah Stewart will join them, but he’ll be the only player ineligible to return for Friday’s outing against the Toronto Raptors on the road. Unfortunately for Stewart, he was hit with a two-game punishment, leading the pack.
With Stewart on his second NBA deal, he’ll lost $206,897, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks. Holland will lose $46,812, while Sasser will lose $15,403.
