Rochester Hills, Mich. ? Five Indiana Pacers players and three fans charged in one of the most violent melees in NBA history appeared in court Tuesday — each at a separate hearing — and were released on bond.

The Pacers players, charged with misdemeanor assault and battery in the brawl with Detroit fans at The Palace of Auburn Hills, appeared for about three minutes each before District Judge Lisa Asadoorian.

Asadoorian allowed each of the players to leave the state and barred them from the Palace “except for employment-related purposes.” Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, Anthony Johnson, David Harrison and Jermaine O’Neal also were told they must attend the next hearing, in April.
