Denver Nuggets' Facundo Campazzo suspended for first game of playoffs after shoving incident

DENVER -- The NBA has suspended Denver Nuggets guard Facundo Campazzo for Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the Golden State Warriors for a shoving incident in the regular-season finale.

Campazzo forcefully pushed down Los Angeles Lakers guard Wayne Ellington in the second quarter Sunday. Campazzo was assessed a flagrant foul 2 and ejected from the game.

The NBA also announced Wednesday that Ellington received a $20,000 fine for what the league said was escalating the incident by posting a threatening comment on social media after the game.
