NEW YORK?Indiana's Danny Granger and Phoenix's Channing Frye were each suspended one game without pay by the NBA on Tuesday for their roles in a fight on Saturday.

Frye's banishment came for throwing a punch at Granger, who was suspended for fighting with Frye with 46.7 seconds remaining in the third period of Phoenix?s 113-105 home victory over the Pacers.

The league also fined Indiana's Earl Wilson $30,000 for instigating and escalating the altercation and fined Indiana's Roy Hibbert and Phoenix's Jason Richardson for escalating the incident.

Granger was banished from Indiana's home game Tuesday against Philadelphia while Frye will serve his suspension Friday when the Suns host the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.

The Pacers are 20-43, the second-worst mark in the Eastern Conference. The Suns are 40-25, fifth in the Western Conference.
