NEW YORK — Cleveland's Dahntay Jones has been suspended for one game by the NBA for striking Toronto's Bismack Biyombo in the groin.
The league also fined Raptors coach Dwane Casey $25,000 on Sunday (Monday, Manila time) for his criticisms of the officiating.
Biyombo remained on his knees on the court after time expired in Game Three on Saturday night after Jones hit him with 17.6 seconds remaining. The little-used reserve will miss Game Four of the series on Monday night.
Casey's comments, including his belief that Biyombo isn't getting enough calls, came in his postgame press conference following the Raptors' 99-84 victory. Cleveland leads the series 2-1.
