Anunoby and Harrell were ejected with 2:24 left in the first quarter after Dennis Schroder fouled Anunoby on a layup attempt. Several players, including Harrell, were involved in an altercation after Schroder and Anunoby squared off.

Anunoby, who received a technical foul and was ejected, has been fined $30,000 for initiating the incident by grabbing Schroder by the leg and recklessly flipping him to the ground after the two became entangled.

Harrell, who received a technical foul and was ejected, has been fined $20,000 for aggressively entering the altercation and shoving Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr.

"We're going to take care of that," Schroder said of Harrell's fine on Thursday. "He had my back, so I mean, we're going to take care of that for sure."
