The story is by now well known. Several Rockets players attempted to get into the Clippers’ locker room after the game before being turned away by security. It led to the LAPD being called to the scene. Said players were apparently intent on going after Clippers teammates Austin Rivers and Blake Griffin.
Despite also being involved in the altercation, it doesn’t look like Griffin himself is being disciplined by the league.
No discipline for Clippers Blake Griffin, league sources tell ESPN.

This will sure lead to debates around the NBA world. After all, both Chris Paul and James Harden were spared from suspension after also being involved in the near fight.
