The NBA fined both Atlanta Hawks forward Mouhamed Gueye and Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid on Wednesday after their fight on Monday night.
Both Gueye and Reid were fined $35,000 each for the incident, which was the second fight across the league on Monday night. Neither player was suspended.

Early in the fourth quarter of the Timberwolves’ 138-116 win over the Hawks, Reid and Gueye started getting into it after Gueye was called for a foul for shoving Reid near the wing. Things escalated very quickly, and it took several assistants and other players to actually separate the two after they latched on to each other’s jerseys.
Both Reid and Gueye were ejected from that contest at the Target Center. Gueye had 10 points and seven rebounds off the bench when he was thrown out. Reid had seven points and six rebounds for the Timberwolves.
The fight in this game was largely overshadowed by the massive brawl that took place in the matchup between the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets on Monday night. That incident resulted in four players getting ejected and a number of suspensions being handed down from the league on Wednesday. Isaiah Stewart received the harshest punishment, and will be suspended for seven games.
