Hassan Whiteside learned a costly lesson this week. You don’t mess with the Boban.
The Miami center has been suspended one game without pay for elbowing the Spurs’ Boban Marjanovic in the head during a game Tuesday night.
Whiteside received a flagrant-2 foul and was ejected for the incident, which came while jostling for a free-throw rebound in the second half of the Spurs’ 119-101 victory over the Heat.
The suspension results in the loss of a little less than $9,000 in salary for Whiteside.
