Martin McNeal of the Sacramento Bee reports: The Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers are awaiting the likely fines and suspensions for the friday night fight between Doug Christie and Rick Fox.

While a ruling might not be announced until monday, the kings might have more to worry about.

Christie and Fox figure to be suspended, but the question is how the league will react to the Kings as well as Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal leaving their respective bench areas.

Rule No. 12, Section VII, subsection C states, "During an altercation, all players not participating in the game must remain in the immediate vicinity of their bench. Violators will be suspended, without pay, for a minimum of one game and fined up to $35,000."

The rules state a team must have at least eight players suited up and ready to play in every game. Should all of the Kings be suspended, they will have to dress eight players and then have their suspensions served one game at a time with the order determined alphabetically.
