Cleveland Cavaliers rookie guard Kevin Porter Jr. has been suspended one game for making contact with an official during his team's loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.

Porter made glancing contact with referee Bill Spooner while running down the court in the third quarter of the contest.

The Milwaukee Bucks selected the 6-foot-4 guard with the last pick of the first round in June's draft. Porter was traded twice in the span of a week, ultimately landing in Cleveland. He's averaging 5.3 points through his first six NBA games.
