Oklahoma City\u2019s Jaylin Williams received a $50,000 fine, while two other players received lesser fines.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The following has been released by the NBA <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AfmZf9Tyvl\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/AfmZf9Tyvl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NBA Communications (@NBAPR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBAPR\/status\/2035771821979505060?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 22, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s fight started when Williams and Champagnie started jawing with each other.

The Wizards might not even hate this outcome since they have nothing to gain by winning games at this point of their season.<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell is averaging 14.2 points in 26.2 minutes per game for the Thunder this season. Champagnie is averaging 8.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 19.4 minutes per night.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NBA has issued a set of suspensions for Saturday\u2019s brawl between the Washington Wizards and Oklahoma City&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3783],"tags":[5577,7,10683,6,310,475,179,3966,3965,312],"class_list":["post-673192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oklahoma-city-thunder","tag-ajay-mitchell","tag-basketball","tag-justin-champagnie","tag-nba","tag-oklahoma","tag-oklahoma-city","tag-oklahoma-city-thunder","tag-oklahomacity","tag-oklahomacitythunder","tag-thunder"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116274647850841079","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
