The NBA issued Mathurin a one-game suspension Wednesday for inappropriate contact and verbal abuse of an official during Tuesday's 127-117 loss to the Cavaliers.
Mathurin will serve the suspension Thursday versus the Pistons. He was ejected from Tuesday's game after receiving a pair of technical fouls, one for hanging on the rim and the second for arguing and making contact with an official. While Mathurin is out Thursday, Jarace Walker could take on more minutes at forward, and rookie Johnny Furphy could move into the rotation.
