It's been a rough few weeks for NBA referees. You will recall, last week Toronto Raptors forward Amir Johnson randomly decided to throw his mouthpiece at an official during a game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was subsequently suspended one game for being dumb.
On Saturday night, possibly innocently, Milwaukee Bucks center Joel Przybilla threw a basketball at a referee with less than two minutes remaining in Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Przybilla was suspended for one game less than 24 hours later. Did he even mean to hit the referee? The NBA doesn't know or care, apparently.
