Sacramento forward Carl Landry has been suspended without pay for one game for leaving the bench during a brief altercation during Sunday night's Jazz-Kings game, the NBA announced on Monday. The incident started as Utah's Rudy Gobert and Sacramento's Derrick Williams crossed paths underneath the basket. Williams ended up shoving Gobert and then bumping his chest against the Jazz center. Landry, who had walked out on the court to celebrate a basket, raced over and got in-between the two players. The veteran forward is averaging 6.9 points and 3.8 rebounds a game for the 28-48 Kings, who play the Timberwolves on Tuesday night before heading to Salt Lake City for a rematch on Wednesday. — Aaron Falk Sacramento forward Carl Landry has been suspended without pay for one game for leaving the bench during a brief altercation during Sunday night's Jazz-Kings game, the NBA announced on Monday.
