Dejounte Murray, the guard for the Atlanta Hawks, will be absent for Game 5 of the team's series against the Boston Celtics due to a one-game suspension.

The suspension comes after Murray made contact with an official and verbally abused them during the team's loss in Game 4. The Hawks now face a difficult challenge, as they are down 3-1 and playing in Boston.

Hawks head coach Quin Snyder spoke to the media about the suspension, stating that Murray knows he was out of line and that the entire team will need to absorb the challenge of playing without him.

Snyder did not reveal who would start in Murray's place, saying that the coaching staff needs to discuss it and determine what makes the most sense relative to the team's opponent.

Murray has been an important part of the team's success throughout the year, so the team will need contributions from multiple players to fill the void he leaves.

Snyder emphasized that everyone needs to do their part and that plugging in a replacement for Murray is not a simple task.

If the Hawks can win Game 5, they will have a chance to tie the series at 3-3 in Game 6, which will be played back in Atlanta.

However, the absence of Murray will undoubtedly make the task much more difficult for the team.

Bruce Springsteen Says Fame Once Scared Him and Therapy Saved His Life

Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   Bruce Springsteen says he feared fame would change him when his career took off with Born to Run  in 1975.  The rocker, now 76, told TIME100 in a cover story on Sept. 25 that he felt life becoming very different after his first TIME and Newsweek  covers.  He said the praise for his music was a dream come true but came with new problems.  Photo: Bruce Springsteen / Instagram   His sister Pam even told him about paparazzi looking into their family kitchen, which made him worry about how fame would affect them. Springsteen called fame “a very distorted lens” and said he had to protect what mattered most to him.  Those fears helped inspire his next album, Darkness on the Edge of Town , which celebrated working-class life.  He also revealed he struggled with thoughts of suicide after his 1982 album Nebraska and began focusing on mental health.  Springsteen still goes to therapy today and says it has cha...
