Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis has been suspended one game without pay for aggressively confronting and making contact with a game official, according to the official NBA statement.

The incident began with Sabonis receiving a technical foul for an unsportsmanlike reaction to a called foul.

Sabonis then reacted demonstratively again in the vicinity of the game official, and approached and bumped the official in a hostile manner, resulting in a second technical foul and an ejection.

The episode occurred with 4:35 remaining in the fourth quarter of Sacramento's 115-131 loss to the New York Knicks on March 7.

Sabonis will serve his suspension tonight when the Kings play host to the Denver Nuggets.

The two-time All-Star is averaging 18.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists over 58 games this season.

The 25-year-old has registered 17.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists in 11 starts with the Kings since they acquired him in a Feb. 8 trade with the Indiana Pacers.
