NEW YORK – Stockton Kings guard Jaylen Nowell has been suspended one game without pay for directing inappropriate and offensive language toward a game official, it was announced today by NBA G League President Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

Nowell will serve his suspension March 7 when the Kings host the Mexico City Capitanes at Golden 1 Center.
