TNT had possession of the ball when Abueva appeared to knock Jones to the floor. Jones responded by hitting Abueva in the groin. The fight only escalated from there.
Abueva appeared to be able to walk off the injury after a brief moment on the ground. Meanwhile, ESPN5 cameras caught Jones dancing to music during a timeout while Abueva was hurt.

On the next possession, Jones went for a rebound and Abueva came over and clocked him in the mouth. Abueva then raised an arm, saying the foul was on him – obviously. Jones went after Abueva but was held back by multiple players and coaches.
Abueva then was caught dancing on the sideline and on top of the scorers’ table.
The league announced Tuesday that Abueva was suspended indefinitely for the incident and received a substantial fine, according to ESPN5. Jones was also fined for the incident.
