The NBA has suspended Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin for one game after he was ejected Tuesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Remarkably, Mathurin received three technical fouls in the same game against the Cavs. The first came in the first half for dunking and hanging on the rim. Late in the fourth quarter, he was called for a shooting foul, which he quickly argued and received the second technical. He then followed the official, Natalie Sago, to argue some more and bumped into her, which led to the third and the suspension.
