The league suspended Golden State guard Shaun Livingston for one game because he got involved in an on-court altercation with referee Courtney Kirkland, a justifiable sanction because players cannot be permitted to angrily make contact with referees, ever. ''We regret the recent incident between Courtney Kirkland and Shaun Livingston,'' the National Basketball Referees Association said. Kevin Durant has been ejected from three games already this season, after getting kicked out of one in his first 700 NBA games.
