The NBA has suspended Charlie Villanueva for five games for an altercation with Cavaliers center Ryan Hollins.

Villanueva not only initiated the altercation but escalated it when he had to be restrained on the court and near the loading dock.

Villanueva sprinted from the Pistons locker room in an attempt to get to the Cavaliers locker room, and was eventually led back to the Pistons locker room by several Detroit area police officers.

Villanueva, who makes $7 million this season, will forfeit $450,000 in salary.
