The Phoenix Suns-Dallas Mavericks game was in the news for the scuffle among players. Jusuf Nurkic, Naji Marshall, and PJ Washington were all involved in a physical altercation on the court during the third quarter. All three were ejected after review by the game officials.

It is usual for teammates to take sides and stand for each other, sometimes even throwing a punch or two as well. However, Suns rookie Ryan Dunn was in no mood to get himself involved in the fight. The $12,998,353 Suns forward said that he hadn't accumulated enough wealth to risk getting fined by the league.
