Is Dejounte Murray Going To Be Suspended For Game 5?

After the Atlanta Hawks lost to the Boston Celtics 129-121 at State Farm Arena, tempers flared and frustration boiled over after the final whistle for Hawks star guard Dejounte Murray. As the teams were leaving the floor, Murray went out of his way to confront one of the referees, bumping into him and staring him down before walking off the floor, turning back and yelling in the official’s direction as Murray was being guided towards the locker room by members of the Hawks staff.

Per NBA rules, contact initiated by a player with a referee at any time is a violation resulting in an automatic one game suspension; Celtics fans should be familiar with this, as it got Grant Williams ejected from a game earlier in the season and earned him a one game suspension to boot. With the intentions to intimidate and instigate, can the league turn the other cheek with Dejounte Murray? Is Dejounte Murray going to be suspended for Game 5?

Join The Garden Report’s Bobby Manning and Josue Pavon as they discuss the Dejounte Murray situation, and how it may seriously impact the Atlanta Hawks in a do-or-die game in Boston on Tuesday.
