"The Indiana Pacers knew there would be fallout from Saturday's altercation with the Phoenix Suns.
They didn't know forward Danny Granger would be suspended one game for his part in the third-quarter incident.
Granger's teammates Earl Watson and Roy Hibbert were fined $30,000 and $25,000, respectively, for their parts.
Phoenix's Channing Frye also was suspended for a game and guard Jason Richardson was fined $25,000.
Granger served his suspension Tuesday night, a 107-96 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers at Conseco Fieldhouse.
"I think we're all very surprised," Pacers coach Jim O'Brien said. "(Team president) Larry Bird and I were baffled, but there's not a lot a franchise can do. The NBA is very strict on any altercations on the court."
