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.

Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib Nurmagomedov , one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, has faced many tough opponents. But when it comes to punching power, he says no one hit harder than Justin Gaethje . The two fought at UFC 254 on October 24, 2020. It was Khabib’s last fight before retiring. During the bout, Gaethje landed heavy punches and kicks that Khabib admitted were painful. “He hit like a truck,” Khabib said on Mike Tyson ’s Hotboxin' podcast. “His left hook, right hook, uppercut—they all hurt. But I made him hit me because I knew he didn’t like wrestling. My plan was to tire him out by standing with him, then take him to the ground and finish the fight.” Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib ended the fight with a triangle choke submission. He explained he chose the move out of respect for Gaethje’s parents, who were watching. “I didn’t want to break his arm in front of his parents,” Khabib said. “So I put him to sleep instead. That’s better.” D...
