While the NBA\u2019s statement didn\u2019t name the other player involved, senior NBA insider Chris Haynes revealed on X that Doncic was the player Schroder initiated a confrontation with.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred in the hallway of the Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers\u2019 home court.<\/p>\n
Schroder and Doncic have had a running rivalry for some time, with the two often engaged in heated moments in-game including their late December clash. <\/p>\n
Doncic and Schroder were seen sledging each other for much of the contest. However, the Kings guard took things a step further off the court, seeking out Doncic nearly 40 minutes after Sacramento\u2019s 125-101 to LA.<\/p>\n
Schroder\u2019s suspension begins when the Kings face off against the Houston Rockets on Monday. <\/p>\n
In Cleveland, Donovan Mitchell scored 28 points and passed off eight assists on Sunday to spark the Cavaliers over Minnesota 146-134.<\/p>\n
But we got extended Ingles minutes, if only six, as the Aussie veteran posted season highs across the board.<\/p>\n
Ingles put up a season-best five points, an equal-season high three assists and hit his first 3-pointer of the season.<\/p>\n
After nailing the corner triple in the second term, Ingles in typical Ingles style turned to the Cavaliers bench and pointed at someone in a cheeky taunt.<\/p>\n
The 38-year old has now touched the court in three of Minnesota\u2019s last four games including the veteran checking into Sunday\u2019s game ahead of former No. 8 pick Rob Dillingham.<\/p>\n
Ingles, who\u2019s played in 11 of a possible 39 games this season, embraced with former Jazz teammate Mitchell post-match after the Cavs star\u2019s glittering performance.<\/p>\n
Two nights after losing at Minnesota, the Cavs also had 24 points on 11-of-16 shooting from Evan Mobley and 23 points off the bench from Jaylon Tyson to rally past the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey got up 12 and we responded, did what we had to do and got the win,\u201d Mitchell said, noting the improvements from Friday\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe made adjustments,\u201d he said. \u201cWe locked in, dialed in and did a good job. We kept our foot on the gas, they made some runs and we continued like always.\u201d <\/p>\n
Darius Garland added 22 points for Cleveland while Sam Merrill contributed 20 points, hitting 5-of-6 three-point shots, and Jarrett Allen had 16 points and 11 rebounds.<\/p>\n
Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 25 points while Julius Randle had 22 and reserve Naz Reid contributed 23, hitting 5-of-6 three-point attempts.<\/p>\n
The Cavaliers improved to 22-18, sixth in the Eastern Conference, while the T-Wolves slid to 25-14, fourth in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n
