NBA Suspends Hawks’ Kingston Flemings For One Game

The NBA has announced a one-game suspension without pay for Hawks guard Kingston Flemings, the league announced on Sunday (via Twitter).

The suspension is due to a play late in the fourth quarter of Atlanta’s game against the Pelicans on Saturday, when the rookie point guard elbowed Pelicans wing Bryce McGowans in the head. The two players were behind the play as New Orleans brought the ball up the floor, while neither player was involved in the play (Twitter video link per HoopsHype Michael Scotto).

The eighth overall pick in the 2026 Draft, Flemings has quickly established himself as an important part of the Hawks’ bench depth, averaging 7.1 points on 38.5% shooting from deep with 4.6 assists in 20.3 minutes per game as a reserve.

Flemings will serve the suspension in Monday’s game against the Pacers.
