NBA star Grant Williams suspended without pay for making 'reckless contact' with female referee

Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams has been suspended by the NBA after he was adjudged to running into a referee after he was called for a foul in a loss to the Chicago Bulls.

Williams had attempted to draw a charge against Zach LaVine, but was called for a blocking foul as he angrily got up with his momentum seemingly taken him towards the way of official Flores, as he ran into her but did not knock the referee over.

Flores immediately called Williams for a further technical foul, and he would be ejected from the game after further assessment. In retaliation, Williams would furiously berate the referee's after he was asked to leave the floor, with Celtics teammates dragging him away.
