Celtics G Ray Allen suspended 1 game for elbowing

NEW YORK - Boston Celtics All-Star Ray Allen has been suspended for one game by the NBA for elbowing Cleveland's Anderson Varejao in the groin on Sunday.

Allen was thrown to the court after his arm got tangled up with Varejao's in the third quarter of the Cavaliers' 107-76 victory. When getting back up, he gave Varejao an elbow that landed below the waist.

Allen was scheduled to serve the suspension in Tuesday night's game in Philadelphia against the 76ers.
