Hawks' Flemings Suspended for a Game for Elbowing the Pelicans' McGowens in the Head
The NBA disciplined the rookie after a review of the incident, leaving Atlanta short at point guard for Monday night’s game.
- The NBA suspended Atlanta Hawks rookie Kingston Flemings one game without pay on Sunday for intentionally elbowing New Orleans Pelicans guard Bryce McGowens in the head during Saturday's game.
- During Saturday's 121-99 loss to the Pelicans, Flemings was ejected after a brief skirmish with New Orleans player Julian Reese escalated the tension on court.
- Before his ejection, Flemings played 25 minutes off the bench; as the Hawks' only true point guard, his absence creates significant roster challenges heading into Monday's matchup.
- Flemings will sit out Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers, compounding Atlanta's depth crisis as Jock Landale, Mouhamed Gueye, Henri Veesaar, and Jalen Johnson are also unavailable.
- Selected in the NBA Draft out of Houston, the 19-year-old had his best career performance last Wednesday against Miami, scoring 23 points with five assists and five rebounds.
