Grizzles' Matt Barnes suspended for trying to enter Bucks locker room

Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes was handed a one-game suspension by the NBA on Saturday for trying to enter the Bucks locker room after getting ejected in Thursday night's 96-86 Bucks win.

After Bucks forward John Henson blocked a Barnes shot, the two exchanged words. Henson was slapped with a double-technical foul for taunting and was ejected. Minutes later, Barnes was ejected and headed to the visiting locker room at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.
