Raptors' Serge Ibaka: Receives one-game suspension

Ibaka has been suspended for Thursday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Ibaka was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Bulls after briefly tangling up with Robin Lopez and subsequently throwing a few punches. The league has brought down a one-game suspension for both players, which Ibaka is set to serve on Thursday. He's fully expected to rejoin the starting lineup come Saturday's matchup with the Mavericks, but in the meantime, Patrick Patterson and Lucas Nogueira should get more run at the power forward spot, while Pascal Siakam was recently recalled from the D-League and could rejoin the rotation.
