A NBA suspendeu no domingo o armador novato dos Hawks Kingston Flemings por uma partida, entendendo que ele “acertou de propósito com o cotovelo” a cabeça do armador do Pelicans Bryce McGowens.
Flemings vai desfalcar o jogo de segunda-feira contra o Indiana Pacers e não será pago.
O lance aconteceu no fim do duelo de sábado, vitória do New Orleans por 121 a 99 com o Pelicans já bem à frente. Conduzindo em transição, Flemings golpeou com o antebraço o rosto de McGowens em um corte; McGowens ainda bloqueou o arremesso e os dois terminaram no chão perto da linha de fundo.
O contato não foi o motivo da suspensão. Quando os dois voltavam correndo lado a lado, Flemings jogou o cotovelo na cabeça de McGowens de um jeito que não lembrava em nada um movimento de basquete. Houve um empurra-empurra, os árbitros revisaram a sequência, deram falta técnica e expulsaram Flemings; naquele momento New Orleans vencia por 119 a 93 nos minutos finais.
Flemings, de 19 anos, tem sete jogos na NBA. Atlanta o escolheu na oitava posição em junho, depois de um ano de calouro de destaque em Houston. Ele tem média de 7,1 pontos, 4,6 assistências, 2,9 rebotes e 0,9 roubo em 20,1 minutos, com 47,6% de aproveitamento nos arremessos e 38,5% nas bolas de três.
