Cavs' Dahntay Jones suspended after punching Bismack Boyombo in the groin

Dahntay Jones' cheap shot to the groin of Raptors center Bismack Boyombo at the end of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals is going to force the Cavaliers bench player to miss Monday's Game 4 in Toronto, the NBA announced Sunday.

Jones, who rarely sees minutes for the Cavaliers, struck Biyombo with a closed hand in the groin on the final possession of the Raptors' Game 3 win, leaving Biyombo in pain on the floor even after the game ended.

"I got hit in an area that I wasn't supposed to get hit on, or a private area, so to speak," Biyombo told reporters after the game.
