NEW YORK — Arron Afflalo will have some time on his hands to consider his elbows.
NBA vice president of violence Stu Jackson announced Sunday that Afflalo has been suspended one game without pay for throwing an elbow to the head of Utah’s Gordon Hayward midway through the third quarter of Utah’s 121-102 win over the Nuggets two nights ago in Salt Lake City.
Afflalo will sit out today as the Nuggets play in Minnesota.
Actually, it was a half-forearm, half-elbow that Afflalo whacked Hayward with, and he earned an immediate ejection.
