It was bound to happen. The Wednesday night dustup between Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns has culminated in two-game suspensions for both combatants:
NBA suspensions from 76ers/Timberwolves scuffle, per sources: Joel Embiid, 2 games; Karl-Anthony Towns, 2 games. No fine for Ben Simmons.

Two games for each seems fair, but one had to wonder if the late-night Twitter spat would exacerbate the potential consequences. Apparently it did:
NBA officially suspends All-Stars Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns for on-court altercation — plus for "their continued escalation following the incident." Embiid and Towns exchanged posts on social media, hours after the game. https://t.co/0LNuQewES8

Of course, it was nice to see that our new submission specialist and future MMA champion Ben Simmons avoided any penalty, due to his “peacemaker” status:

No word on whether Karl-Anthony Towns’ mom, who verbally assaulted Embiid, will face any sanctions.
