A video review showed Doncic pushing Williams and Williams retaliating by swiping at Doncic’s face. Both players were called for a technical foul by crew chief Sean Wright.
Doncic previously picked up his 16th tech last weekend for verbally sparring with Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze, but the NBA rescinded the techs after the Lakers appealed to the league.
The suspension will cost Doncic 1/174th of his annual salary, or approximately $264,000. The punishment comes amid a torrid stretch for Doncic, with the superstar averaging 39.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.5 steals in his past 12 games.
