Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin has been suspended for one game without pay by the NBA for taunting, escalating a scuffle, and tackling Toronto Raptors rookie Christian Koloko on the stands during their match on Saturday.

Koloko, on his part, will be handed a $15,000 fine for grabbing Martin in the altercation. Meanwhile, Heat rookie Nikola Jovic will also be suspended without pay for leaving the bench and entering the sequence.

The scuffle happened during the third period, when both Martin and Koloko battled for a board and eventually tangled up with each other.

The Heat eventually grabbed the 112-109 win over the Raptors.

Per the NBA, the suspension of Martin and Jovic will take place when Miami hosts Toronto again on Monday.
