Jason Kidd, Milwaukee Bucks coach, suspended one game for swiping ball from official

Milwaukee Bucks coach Jason Kidd has been suspended for one game without pay after swiping the ball away from a referee during Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings, the NBA announced.

The league office punished Kidd for "aggressively pursuing and confronting a game official, slapping the ball out of his hands and not leaving the court in a timely manner upon his ejection," according to a statement from NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Kiki Vandeweghe.

Kidd will miss Friday night's game at the Orlando Magic.

He was ejected with 1:49 left after slapping the ball out of referee Zach Zarba's hand.
