In 10 years, how many players in NBA history have left the bench during an altercation?nba draft history

Interesting question. I'm glad you limited it to 10 years. There have been quite a few 'altercations" "tussles" "skirmishes" and what not the last 10 years.

It doesn't appear that any player has served this suspension twice. Interestingly though, players have served more than one suspension for *active participation* in altercations.

As for apologies, players have apologized for being involved in the altercation but can't seem to find mention of a 'leaving the bench during an altercation and suspended' apology from a player.

Here are the suspensions for leaving the bench during an altercation:
