Grant Williams suspended one game after altercation with referee

Celtics forward Grant Williams will be suspended for one game after running into official Cheryl Flores on Monday, the NBA announced on Wednesday.

Williams was ejected from Monday’s 120-102 loss in the second half. The Celtics appeared frustrated for much of the game as the Bulls whittled away at their lead after a hot start, and Williams in particular spent much of the second half barking at officials. After one sequence that left him particularly frustrated, Williams was whistled for a blocking foul, and he hopped up and bumped into Flores as he ran toward the bench in disbelief.
