The NBA has officially suspended
The altercation occurred late in the fourth quarter of the Hawks' 121-99 defeat on the road. With only 3:04 remaining on the clock, Flemings made contact with McGowens' head, an action that resulted in an immediate technical foul and his subsequent ejection from the game.
Disciplinary consequences for the Hawks guard
As a direct result of the league's ruling, Flemings will be unavailable for the Hawks' upcoming game. The suspension is set to be served during Atlanta's next scheduled appearance, which is a road contest against the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.
The incident, which saw Flemings removed from the floor during the final minutes of Saturday's loss, has now been addressed through the league's standard disciplinary protocols. By missing Monday's game, Flemings will forfeit his pay for that contest as part of the penalty handed down by the NBA.
