Knicks' Quincy Acy Suspended A Game; John Wall Fined $15K By NBA
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — New York Knicks forward Quincy Acy has been suspended one game without pay by the NBA for his flagrant foul against John Wall in a Christmas game.
Hopefully the Knicks are so annoyed with Quincy Acy they decide not to play him anymore. Would be a fantastic Christmas gift.

The league said Friday that Wall was fined $15,000 for escalating the confrontation by pushing Acy.
Acy gets suspended for a game for his kerfuffle with Wall. Wall gets fined. If they want to punish Acy, make him play more for the Knicks.

The NBA adds that Acy's flagrant foul 2 initiated an altercation in Washington's 102-91 victory Thursday. Wall was dribbling up the court when Acy knocked him down with a forearm shove with 5:31 remaining. Wall got up and pushed Acy, who swung his arm and appeared to hit Wall behind the neck and was ejected.
NBA takes it easy on Acy, who will miss his Sacramento return with 1-game suspension but no more. Amazing J.R. got suspended same length.

Acy, 24, will miss the Knicks' game at Sacramento on Saturday. New York acquired the forward from the Kings last summer.
