Carmelo Anthony Suspended One Game For Altercation with Kevin Garnett

January 9, 2013 by 1 Comment

The NBA has made its decision on the punishment for the incident that took place between Kevin Garnett and Carmelo Anthony after Monday night’s Celtics/Knick game, according to the Associated Press.  Carmelo didn’t think he would be suspended, but NBA discipline czar, Stu Jackson, thought differently.  Jackson said in a statement:

There are no circumstances in which it is acceptable for a player to confront an opponent after a game.  Carmelo Anthony attempted to engage with Kevin Garnett multiple times after Monday’s game and therefore a suspension was warranted.

Anthony will miss Thursday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers.  How much is this going to cost Melo? $176,700.
