Heat's Caleb Martin Suspended 1 Game for Raptors Altercation, Christian Koloko Fined

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin got into an altercation with Toronto Raptors center Christian Koloko in Saturday night's game, and he's now facing the consequences.

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, the NBA gave Martin a one-game suspension for his involvement in the incident. His Miami teammate, Nikola Jovic, also received a one-game suspension for leaving the bench area, while Koloko was fined $15,000.

Midway through the third quarter of Saturday's game, Martin and Koloko were fighting for position to grab a rebound on a missed three-pointer by Raptors forward Pascal Siakam. Koloko fell to the ground and Martin was called for a foul. Martin stepped toward the rookie as he quickly got up to his feet, and the two of them engaged in a tussle that spilled into the front-row seats not far from the Heat bench.

"I just think that there's a lot of plays that were kind of leading up to it," Martin told reporters afterward. "It was a chippy game. That's typically how the game goes with Toronto. It's a chippy back-and-forth. But ultimately, I just think that emotions were high and the game was a close game. It was back-and-forth. Overall, I got to be more professional in the way I handle those type of situations."

Both Martin and Koloko received technicals and were ejected from the game. The Heat won 112-109 to improve to 1-2.

For his part, Koloko said he wasn't sure why Martin initiated the confrontation.

"He just stood there looking at me like crazy," he said. "I just stood up. I don't know."

The Heat and Raptors will face each other again on Monday night.
