Bobcats' Jackson suspended 1 game

Charlotte, N.C. -- His motor mouth and slow feet got Charlotte Bobcats guard Stephen Jackson suspended without pay for one game.

Stu Jackson, NBA executive vice president for basketball operations, said Tuesday Jackson was disciplined for verbally abusing a game official and failing to leave the court in a timely manner after being ejected in the first quarter of Charlotte's Saturday loss to Milwaukee.

The suspension means Jackson will miss the Bobcats' game at New Orleans Wednesday.
