"Suns center Robin Lopez received a one-game suspension from the league Wednesday for making contact with official Rodney Mott during the Suns' Tuesday night home loss to Toronto.

The suspension will keep Lopez out of the Suns' Friday night game at Portland.

Lopez's temper was stoked when he missed a second-quarter post-up attempt against Toronto's Andrea Bargnani and felt he was fouled. Lopez raced back on defense and needlessly reached in to foul big man Linas Kleiza about 40 feet from the basket before turning his ire and glare toward Mott."
