Matt Barnes Suspended Two Games for Incident With Derek Fisher

Matt Barnes will be suspended for the incident this past October in which the Grizzlies player physically attacked Knicks coach (and Barnes’ former Lakers teammate) Derek Fisher for dating Barnes’ estranged wife, Gloria Govan. Per Woj, Barnes has agreed to accept the suspension.

This is what the New York Post reported in October:

"But when Barnes learned that Fisher was at his former home with Gloria, he drove 95 miles to LA to “beat the s–t” out of Fisher, sources said. “Derek was in Gloria’s back yard with about 10 people having a bonfire on ​​Saturday,” said a source. “Derek’s separated from his wife and there’s a relationship with [Gloria].”"

Barnes’ children were in the home. Fisher reportedly suffered “a few scratches” in the incident, and missed at least one Knicks practice.
