The NBA announced a one-game suspension for Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray after an incident involving a referee in the final moments of a Game 4 Boston Celtics victory Sunday evening. Murray will miss Game 5 Tuesday night in Boston, where the Celtics have a chance to close out the series.
In a press release, the league said Murray was suspended for “making inappropriate contact with and verbally abusing a game official.” Footage of the incident seems to back that assessment up, though its not yet clear what triggered the confrontation in the moment or what was said.
