Orlando Magic guard Keyon Dooling has been suspended five games without pay for fighting with and attempting to confront Seattle SuperSonics guard Ray Allen in the hallway following his ejection.

Ray Allen has been suspended three games without pay for fighting with Dooling in Wednesday’s game, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President Basketball Operations.

The incident occurred with 10:57 remaining in the second quarter of the SuperSonics 113-104 win over the visiting Magic at KeyArena. Dooling will begin serving his suspension tonight as the Magic visit Portland and Allen will also begin serving his suspension tonight when the SuperSonics host the Miami Heat.

InsideHoops.com Editor's Reaction: This seems a bit harsh. I guess the NBA is going to be extra strict about fighting due to last year's brawl in Detroit. I felt Allen might get two games and Dooling three. So the NBA's ruling isn't that far off, but it's definitely on the heavy side.
