According to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle (via Fanster), Matt Barnes, Steve Nash and Rafer Alston have all received suspensions for their role in Wednesday's lame Phoenix Suns-Houston Rockets shoving match.

Barnes and Alston will miss two games for starting the third quarter scuffle, while Nash will miss just one for slipping on an imaginary banana peel. In addition, Shaquille O'Neal was fined $35,000 and Tracy McGrady was fined $25,000 for their roles in the altercation.

No word on whether Ron Artest was given a shiny gold sticker for good behavior.
