Warriors' Ezeli suspended 1 game for initiating an altercation on Friday

The Golden State Warriors will be without center Festus Ezeli on Sunday when they take on the Boston Celtics.

Ezeli has been suspended one game for initiating an altercation with Toronto Raptors power forward Tyler Hansbrough on Friday. Both players were ejected for their involvement, though it appears as if Hansbrough will escape punishment.

The incident can be seen below.

The altercation came during an embarrassing loss for the Raptors, as the Warriors thoroughly dismantled Toronto to the tune of leading by 41 points when the incident was sparked.

In his third season, Ezeli has played the role of occasional backup center, logging 11 minutes per game while averaging 3.9 points and 2.9 rebounds.
