WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has been suspended one game for halting play and making contact with a game official, it was announced by the NBA on Monday.

The incident occurred with 6:20 remaining in the second quarter of Denver's 127-109 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 19 at Staples Center.

The NBA also rescinded the ejection fine given to Nuggets' center Nikola Jokic, who received a technical foul for his actions but should not have been ejected from the game.
