Celtics’ Grant Williams Suspended One Game for Contact With Official

Celtics forward Grant Williams was suspended by the NBA for one game after “recklessly making contact” and “directing inappropriate language” at a game official on Oct. 24 during the team’s game vs. the Bulls.

Williams earned a technical foul during the team’s 120–102 loss to the Bulls on Monday and then was ejected because of his actions.

During the fourth quarter, Williams was knocked down by Bulls forward Zach LaVine and called for a blocking foul. When Williams quickly got up from the ground, he bumped into the game official, triggering the ejection.
