“Monta’s suspension is a very serious matter to our franchise and it will be dealt with accordingly,” Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard said.
According to Bobby Marks of The Vertical, Ellis could lose up to $387,000.
The cost of a five-game suspension for the Pacers Monta Ellis is $387k (1/145).
Under the old CBA it would have been $510k (1/110).
