NBA decided it won’t suspend Draymond Green and Bradley Beal for their fight on Sunday’s Golden State Warriors vs. Washington Wizards game. Instead, the league handed a $50K fine to Beal and $25K fine to Green.

Green and Beal engaged in a fight towards the end of the game’s second quarter. Beal hit Green in the face while fighting for position, which caused Green to grab Beal. Being locked up, the two fell on the ground. Players from both teams rushed in to separate the fight. After the situation calmed, Green and Beal were ejected from the game.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do if someone hits you twice,” – Green told ESPN at halftime. “Man, you’re taught as a kid not to allow that. What was I supposed to do?”
Beal apologized to his teammates after the incident saying he “needs to show better leadership and control.

Things were said. Things were done throughout the whole game. But I’m not going to go into detail,” – Beal commented on the incident.

While Beal was lucky to avoid the suspension, two Washington Wizards players Markieff Morris and Carrick Felix did get suspended for leaving the bench after the altercation. This, however, won’t hurt the Wizards in a big way. Morris is inactive and is recovering from hernia surgery, while Felix is a bench player for the team.

Although the Golden State Warriors got the win against the Wizards, they went on to lose against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night and now have a 4-3 record. They will face the Los Angeles Clipper on Monday night and try to get out of the early slump.
Washington Wizards, on the other hand, are 4-2 after the win against the Sacramento Kings. They will have few days off, facing the Phoenix Suns on November 2.
