Snyder said that Dejounte Murray will want to be with the team in the capacity that he can since the suspension doesn’t allow him to be at the game. Logistically it sounds like he’ll probably head back to Atlanta with the team. – 6:15 PM

The NBA is reportedly investigating Dejounte Murray after he bumped an official after last night’s Game 4 loss to the Celtics.
He could face league discipline ahead of Tuesday’s elimination game in Boston if the contact is deemed intentional.

More on this storyline
NBA Communications: The following was released by the NBA. -via Twitter / April 24, 2023
Is a suspension likely for Murray? It would seem so. Historically, inappropriately bumping an official the way that Murray did crosses a bright red line, one that results in an automatic ejection and a one-game suspension. Boston’s Grant Williams, for instance, was ejected and suspended one game in October after he contacted official Cheryl Flores in a loss against Chicago. With the buzzer going off at the same time that Murray contacted official Petraitis, ejection wasn’t possible on Sunday. However, that would only see to make a suspension for Murray even more likely. -via The Athletic / April 24, 2023
Jeff Schultz: The Hawks won’t know until Monday whether Dejounte Murray will be suspended for Game 5 for bumping the referee after the game. -via Twitter @JeffSchultzATL / April 24, 2023
