DENVER (AP) — The NBA has suspended Denver Nuggets guard Facundo Campazzo for Game 1 of the first-round playoff series against Golden State for a shoving incident in the regular season finale.
Campazzo forcefully pushed down Los Angeles Lakers guard Wayne Ellington in the second quarter over the weekend.
Campazzo was assessed a flagrant foul 2 and ejected from the game.
Ellington drew a $20,000 fine from the league for what it said was escalating the incident with a threatening comment on social media after the game.
