Serge Ibaka and Marquese Chriss will likely be facing discipline from the NBA as a result of their altercation on Monday.
During the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors, Ibaka ended up on the floor after the two locked arms while going for the ball. While Ibaka was on the floor, Chriss starred at him as he walked by. Ibaka responded by jumping to his feet and putting his arm around Chriss’ throat, which led to the two exchanging punches.

Both players were ejected from the game and can expect to hear from the NBA league office in the not-so-distant future. Ibaka is a repeat offender and has a reputation for throwing punches during fights.
