“NBA Player Dejounte Murray Risks Suspension and Fine for Clash with Referee During Game 4 Between Hawks and Celtics”

Sunday evening was epic on the NBA courts. The day after the bloodshed of Dillon Brooks on LeBron James – gesture for which he will not be suspended – Game 4 between the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics was marked by the cracking of Dejounte Murray envers l’arbitre Gediminas Petraitis.

Author of a rather convincing game (23 pts, 9 rebounds, 6 assists) despite the defeat of his team (129-121), the 26-year-old will have to explain himself to the Disciplinary Committee of the NBA. ESPN reports that the league has launched an investigation after the full-back’s behavior towards the referee, who he shoved before confronting him head to head. The full-back then walked away and yelled at another person before leaving the pitch.

What does Murray risk after his stroke? The American media recall that the NBA usually takes a disciplinary decision before the next game between the two teams, which will take place on Tuesday in Boston. And the former player Spurs could be fined and suspended. In October, Celtics winger Grant Williams was suspended for one game for clashing with the referee during a loss to the Chicago Bulls.

Led 3-1 by Boston, the Hawks are back to the wall before game 5 of the series, which will take place Tuesday at the Celtics. The latter will have the opportunity to join Philadelphia in the semi-finals of the Eastern Conference. The most successful franchise in the NBA – 17 titles with the Lakers – will be able to count on his in-form duo. Jayson Tatum et Jaylen Brown each scored 31 points and scored a dunk in the last minute, thwarting the final onslaught of Trae Young (35 pts, 14 passes).
