NEW YORK – Brooklyn Nets guard-forward Trendon Watford and Indiana Pacers center-forward Myles Turner have each been fined $35,000 for their involvement in an on-court altercation, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations.
In addition, Pacers guard-forward Andrew Nembhard was fined $20,000 for his role in initiating the altercation.
The altercation was initiated by Nembhard and Watford and escalated when Watford delivered a right forearm to the chest region of Nembhard. Following that action, Turner escalated the altercation further by shoving Watford.

Turner and Nembhard were each assessed technical fouls for their roles in the incident.
