On Tuesday night a nice fight between the Pacers & Warriors broke out that spilled over into the crowd. It all started when Roy Hibbert & David Lee exchanged shoves under the basket after a missed shot.
Well Roy Hibbert has issued an apology to fans and yes, his mom. If I did that, I’d have to apologize to my mom too! Lol. He’s even covering Lance Stephenson’s fine. Details and video after the jump…
According to ICR:
Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert won’t play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night while serving a one-game suspension for his part in the heated shoving match with David Lee and the Golden State Warriors.
Lance Stephenson also drew a $35,000 fine from the NBA for his entry into the fray which is a pretty stiff penalty considering the Pacers guard makes around $870,000 this season. Fortunately, Hibbert offered to cover the cash for his teammate.
Hibbert also met with the media on Wednesday before the NBA officially handed down the punishment. He apologized to fans and also revealed his mom wasn’t happy with his role in the altercation.
