The NBA on Sunday suspended Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn for two games and Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. for one, the result of a fight the two had during a game the previous night.

In a statement, NBA head of basketball operations Joe Dumars said Dunn was disciplined for "initiating an altercation and throwing a punch" at Smith, who was suspended the one game for fighting.

Based on their contracts, Dunn will lose $35,678 for the two-game suspension, and Smith will lose $53,601.

Both players were ejected after throwing punches five seconds into the second quarter of Houston's 147-119 home win.
