Hamilton has been suspended for one game by the NBA for "throwing a punch" at the Thunder's Steven Adams in Tuesday's game. He'll miss Friday's game and be able to return Saturday.

Analysis:

Hamilton tried to run up court without looking and crashed into Adams' back. He then swung his right arm around to give Adams a love tap on the chest as if to say, "Dude, what's the point of a screen here?" There didn't seem to be any malice to the play. Hamilton will sit out Friday's game and return to playing off the bench for the Nuggets on Saturday.
