Bamba, Orlando's 2.13-meter tall center, left his seat and exchanged punches with Rivers, sparking a quarrel that had security trying to separate players.

It ended with Bamba and Rivers getting ejected along with Orlando point guard Jalen Suggs and Minnesota's Taurean Prince and Jaden McDaniels.

The incident came a day after Memphis' Dillon Brooks and Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell were ejected from a game after a shoving match that followed Brooks' blow to Mitchell.

Earlier on Friday the NBA suspended Brooks for one game for sparking the confrontation and fined Mitchell $20,000 for his incensed reaction.

The Magic, who were leading 83-73 when the fight broke out with 1:32 left in the third quarter, went on to win 127-120, led by 20 points from reserve point guard Cole Anthony.
