Suns' Marquese Chriss, Jared Dudley avoid suspension, fined $25K for Thursday's altercation
AZ Central Sports' Scott Bordow reports Phoenix Suns forwards Marquese Chriss and Jared Dudley have been fined $25,000 apiece for their parts in Thursday's altercation with the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
Neither play will be suspended, but they've been handed a nice fine for their actions. Following a Chriss drive and Jazz rebound, Dudley blatantly shoved point guard Ricky Rubio as he went up the court. Then, as tempers flared, Chriss stepped back in and blindsided Rubio with a push to the back. They will be available off the bench tonight.
In Saturday's matchup with the Warriors, Chriss is projected for 19 FanDuel points with Dudley down for just 8.4 in limited minutes.
