On Sunday, the Atlanta Hawks dropped Game 4 to the Boston Celtics 129-121 at home and now trail their first-round series 3-1.
Well, on Monday, they got some more bad news.
Hawks guard Dejounte Murray will miss Game 5 in Boston(Tuesday) as he was suspended one game without pay by the NBA for making inappropriate contact with and verbally abusing a game official, the league announced on Monday.
The incident occurred at the game’s conclusion as Murray was seen bumping referee Gediminas Petraitis.
In the series against the Celtics, Murray is averaging 25.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.3 steals per game.
Atlanta would have a hard time beating the Celtics with Murray, and without him, it might be close to impossible, but anything can happen.
