  "account": "The Atlanta Hawks' rookie Kingston Flemings has been suspended for one game without pay after elbowing the face of his opponent, Pelicans' Bryce McGowens, during a game on Saturday night. This incident occurred following a drive to the rim by Flemings against McGowens, who had blocked Flemings' layup attempt. The elbow, while not initially seen by broadcasters, led to a technical foul and ejection for Flemings. This dirty elbow, off the ball, was the key factor in Flemings receiving the punishment. Both the Pelicans and Hawks broadcasts missed the initial foul until it was pointed out by MrBuckBuck on Twitter. Flemings, the No. 8 pick in last June's draft and the Hawks' hope for their future point guard, has been averaging 7.1 points and 4.6 assists per game off the bench for Atlanta. He previously scored 23 points in a game against Miami last week.",
  "summary": "It was a pretty blatant elbow to the face that the cameras largely missed.",
