Kings PG Dennis Schröder suspended 3 games for trying to strike Lakers player after game
The confrontation allegedly happened behind closed doors after a Kings-Lakers game in December.
Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schröder has been suspended three games by the NBA for something that happened behind closed doors.
The league announced the punishment out of the blue on Saturday, alleging that Schröder had confronted and attempted to strike another player following the Kings' loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 28. Per the league, Schröder sought out the unidentified player in a Crypto.com Arena hallway and initiated a confrontation.
The suspension will begin with the Kings' game against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. It's unclear if Schröder is appealing or has already appealed the decision.
