Heat's Martin suspended 1 game for instigating altercation with Raptors' Koloko
The NBA suspended Heat forward Caleb Martin one game for instigating the altercation with Toronto Raptors rookie Christian Koloko in Miami's 112-109 win Saturday.
Heat rookie Nikola Jovic was also given a one-game suspension for leaving the bench area, while Koloko was fined $15,000 for grabbing Martin.
With 7:46 left in the third quarter, Martin and Koloko were fighting for a rebound when the latter appeared to make contact with the former as he fell to the floor. A seemingly upset Martin then taunted Koloko by towering over him. Koloko appeared to push the Heat swingman away before being tackled into the first row.
