NEW YORK – Denver Nuggets forward Nene was suspended for two games without pay by the NBA on Wednesday after head-butting an opposing player and making contact with an official.

Nene was ejected with 7:25 left in Denver’s 118-115 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Monday, after head-butting the Suns’ Louis Amundson. After the ejection, Nene made contact with a game official, said NBA executive vice president of operations Stu Jackson.

Nene, who was averaging 14.6 points and 7.8 rebounds, will be eligible to return on Saturday against Golden State.  (AP)
