Pacers star Bennedict Mathurin suspended for bumping ref in stunning scene

Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin has been suspended by the NBA for one game without pay due to “inappropriate contact and verbally abusing a game official” during Tuesday’s 127-117 home loss to the Cavaliers.

Mathurin, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, took out his frustration on referee Natalie Sago after a being called for a foul on Cleveland big man Evan Mobley in transition with less than four minutes to play in the fourth quarter — and the Cavs leading, 120-111.

The 22-year-old followed Sago and clapped his hands while he addressed her with profane language, according to the league’s statement Wednesday.
