AFTERMATH:

  • The NBA suspends Artest (for the rest of the season), Jackson (30 games), O'Neal (25), Wallace (six), Indiana's Anthony Johnson (five), Reggie Miller (one), Detroit's Chauncey Billups (one), Elden Campbell (one) and Derrick Coleman (one).
  • Authorities say fan John Green threw the cup that hit Artest.
  • Artest, Jackson, Harrison and Johnson are charged with one count each of assault and battery. O'Neal is charged with two counts of assault and battery. Eight fans, including Wallace's brother, David, are charged for their roles in the brawl.
  • An arbitrator reduces O'Neal's suspension from 25 to 15 games. 

    Fans Charlie Haddad and Alvin Shackelford Jr., plead no contest to charges of walking on the court during the brawl and are sentenced to probation and community service.
  • The brawl inspires an episode of NBC's fictional "Law & Order."
  • Spectators David Wallace, for misdemeanor assault and battery, and Jeremy Handley, for throwing objects at a performance or sporting event, are sentenced to probation and community service.
  • The start of Indiana's next game in Detroit is delayed by 1 hour, 25 minutes because of a telephoned threat that there is a bomb in the Pacers' locker room.
  • Bryant Jackson, accused of throwing a chair, pleads no contest to one count of felony assault and one count of misdemeanor assault and battery and is later sentenced to two years probation.
  • The five Pacers plead no contest to misdemeanor assault and battery charges and are sentenced to a year of probation and community service.
  • Attorney Larry Charfoos, who represents Haddad, says O'Neal, Johnson and the Pacers are being sued by his client. Charfoos says the civil case will start with depositions this winter and is expected to head to court next summer.
  • Other lawsuits are filed against the Pacers, including one by a Palace security guard.
  • Charges against three fans, including Green, are pending.
