NBA suspends Granger, Frye

New York, NY (Sports Network) - The National Basketball Association on Tuesday levied one-game suspensions without pay against Indiana Pacers forward Danny Granger and Phoenix Suns center Channing Frye.

Both men were hit with the penalties for their actions during the third quarter of the Suns' victory over the Pacers in Phoenix on Saturday. Frye threw a punch at Granger, who retaliated.

In addition, the league dished out a $30,000 fine to Pacers guard Earl Watson for escalating the incident on the court, and $25,000 fines to Indiana's Roy Hibbert and Jason Richardson of Phoenix for adding to the escalation of an on- court incident.

Frye won't serve his suspension until Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers in Phoenix. Granger took his night off on Tuesday when Indiana beat Philadelphia.
