Murray might be suspended for game 5. He went and intentionally bumped the ref after the buzzer rang.

Wait seriously?

Oh yikes. That's not a good look

But is that suspension-worthy? A fine might be more likely

He 100% should be. Silver cannot let that go unpunished.

The NBA announced the potential Celtics-Sixers schedule scenarios.

If Boston wins Tuesday, then Game 1 is next Saturday. If this series goes 6 or 7 and Boston wins, it's next Monday

IF Boston wins Game 5:

Game 1: PHI @ BOS (Sat)
Game 2: PHI @ BOS May 1
Game 3: BOS @ PHI May 5
Game 4: BOS @ PHI May 7
Game 5: PHI @ BOS May 9
Game 6: BOS @ PHI May 11
Game 7: PHI @ BOS May 15

IF Boston wins in 6 or 7:

Game 1: PHI @ BOS May 1 
Game 2: PHI @ BOS May 3
Game 3: BOS @ PHI May 5
Game 4: BOS @ PHI May 7
Game 5: PHI @ BOS May 9
Game 6: BOS @ PHI May 11
Game 7: PHI @ BOS May 14

I guess if ATL comes back to win the series, then it'll be PHI vs. ATL with that 2nd schedule iteration^

It’s an automatic suspension I believe. Think Rondo a few years ago and even Grant Williams this season got suspended for doing something similar.

Oh, goes to show how much I know lol

Around social media though it seems most think he won't be suspended. Tatum also made contact with a ref in-game when he was arguing for a Flagrant Foul and they didn't care.

But if Murray misses Game 5, that's big. He's been arguably their best player this series, and easily their best and most consistent scorer

Yeah, that was my understanding, too. And GWill sets the precedent from earlier in the season - he was ejected and suspended the next game.

I think we’ll see him suspended given it was after the game on the way out. He had to be held back from him, too.

Nice game by a lot of Celtics. I’ll take a moment to say it was great seeing Smart have a very good game, break out of his funk. Made a bunch of big, steadying plays.

Yeah, Murray is not Lebron either, so there's that

Weird that they would announce this when the Boston-Atlanta series isn't over yet. I just think it's disrespectful to Atlanta?

Hawks fans saying JT should be suspended too because he brushed the ref off on one play. That was a totally different situation! The ref was trying to hold JT back for no reason after that hard foul on him. Dejounte purposely looked for the ref and bumped him. That should be a suspension.

[SHAQATTACK]

Put Rob back in his body armor and seal him back up in a sealed tank . With hell’s angels and guard dogs outside .
Let nobody touch his food or breathe on him. ;

Great game BIG GUY !

[SparzWizard]

D Murray did that with pure evil intention, and it wasn't just a soft bump. It was like "u better look out for yoself" typa bump on his way out the floor.

Needs to be suspended. Official safety.

I mean, we can give Tatum a rest and still eliminate them in Game 5. The Hawks are cooked.

[Phantom255x]

I'll give the Hawks a lot of credit. They played awesome the last two games and didn't fold after falling behind 2-0. They aren't pushovers. Definitely made it tough for us this weekend in both games.

Murray Faked a head butt at the ref
