The NBA suspended Atlanta Hawks guard Kingston Flemings one game without pay for intentionally elbowing New Orleans guard Bryce McGowens in the head during the Pelicans’ 121-99 home win on Saturday.
The league said that Flemings, 19, will serve the suspension on Monday when Atlanta visits the Indiana Pacers.
Flemings was assessed a technical foul and ejected following a review of the incident with 3:04 remaining in the fourth quarter. A brief skirmish broke out, with Flemings and New Orleans’ Julian Reese each getting technicals.
Flemings recorded 12 points, six assists and two rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench.
The eighth-overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft out of Houston, Flemings is averaging 7.1 points, 4.7 assists and 2.9 rebounds in seven games (no starts).
