Overview
- A game between Miami 305 and the LA Riot was called off after on-court fights during the second half on Saturday, June 20, 2026, that began with a rebound scuffle between Dwight Howard and Michael Beasley.
- Video and reports show Lance Stephenson committed a hard foul and then threw punches at Jordan Crawford, and the league confirmed both Stephenson and Beasley were ejected.
- With veteran Reggie Evans out injured, Miami 305 was reduced to two active players after the ejections and the BIG3 posted that the Riot won by forfeit, 39-30.
- Some outlets reported one-game suspensions for Beasley and Stephenson, but the BIG3 has not issued a public suspension announcement and further discipline remains under review.
- The episode highlights a structural risk in the five-player BIG3 rosters that gives ejections outsized impact and raises questions about how repeat incidents involving veteran players will be punished going forward.
