Houston Rockets guard Marcus Smart has been suspended by the NBA for three games after an attempted punch against Golden State Warriors center Charles Bassey, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
After Bassey and Smart were jostling for a rebound, Smart rushed toward Bassey as they were jogging toward the other end of the floor. Immediately confronting the big man, Smart subsequently threw a right straight that Bassey rolled and slipped in Floyd Mayweather fashion.
After the game, Bassey — addressing media — characterized Smart as ‘fake toughness.’
Smart’s absence from the game did not affect the Rockets’ chances, as they were able to comfortably win against the Warriors — albeit, a Warriors team without Steph Curry, who exited the game early in the first quarter due to an oblique abdominal tear.
