NBA suspends Kings center Domantas Sabonis for bumping official in loss to Knicks

Domantas Sabonis Kings NBA Knicks California Josh Tiven New York Knicks

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The NBA came down hard on Kings center Domantas Sabonis following his confrontation with official Josh Tiven in Monday’s loss to the New York Knicks.

President of League Operations Byron Spruell announced Wednesday that Sabonis has been suspended one game without pay for “aggressively confronting and making contact with a game official.”

Sabonis will serve the suspension when the Kings face the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night at Golden 1 Center. Sabonis argued vehemently after being whistled for a foul on Immanuel Quickley with 4:35 remaining in Monday’s 131-115 loss to the Knicks. The league issued a statement describing the sequence of events that led to Sabonis’ ejection, the first of his career.
