NEW YORK � The NBA has suspended Boston guard Ray Allen one game without pay for elbowing Cleveland forward Anderson Varejao in the groin.

The players got tangled under the basket after a free throw with 5:05 remaining in the third quarter of the Cavaliers' 107-76 victory on Sunday. Varejao flung Boston's guard to the floor, and Allen responded with his elbow. Allen will be docked more than $167,000 in salary.

Allen will sit out the Celtics' game in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, a meaningless game for Boston. Kevin Garnett also will miss the game to rest his strained knee.
