Oh for sure, I just don't think league will want to make a big deal of it. It's negative publicity for them, and they'll avoid it if they can, and I believe they'll be able to due to which anthem was being disrespected.
If anything, I assume they'll try to pass out a minor media note stating they he should have respected it and they talked with him about it. At most I could see the NBA forcing him to make a better apology and it'll be along the lines of "I didn't know the rule, now I know the rule, I won't break the rule again (insert disingenuous comment about liking Canada)".
