Bucks' O.J. Mayo earns one-game ban for punch on Stiemsma

The Milwaukee Bucks will be without the services of guard O.J. Mayo on Saturday against the Wizards, as the NBA has suspended the six-year pro for striking New Orleans Pelicans center Greg Stiemsma Friday night.

After getting crunched by a legal pick, Mayo spun Stiemsma around and lunged at the Pelicans' big man, driving his forearm into Stiemsma's throat. 

Mayo was subsequently ejected for the flagrant foul.
