PJ Tucker suspended for one game

PJ Tucker has been handed a one-game suspension for elbowing Los Angeles Clippers guard Blake Griffin in the chin.

The Phoenix Suns guard was ejected during his side's 112-105 defeat to the Clippers for striking his opponent during a fourth-quarter altercation earlier this week.

The suspension will prevent Tucker from playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers later today.

The 28-year-old has been averaging 9.4 points per game this season.
