Stephen Jackson has been suspended one game without pay for verbal abuse of a game official and for failing to leave the court in a timely manner following his ejection, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.

The incident occurred with 7:31 remaining in the first quarter of the Bobcats’ 104-101 loss to the Bucks on Saturday, November 27 at
Bradley Center. Jackson, who was previously fined $50,000 on November 6 for verbal abuse of officials, will serve his suspension on Wednesday when the Bobcats visit New Orleans Arena to play the Hornets.

Bobcats forward Stephen Jackson had the franchise's first-ever triple-double in Saturday night's victory over the Suns.

Jackson had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Charlotte coach Larry Brown told Jackson during his exit interview after last season that he felt the forward was one of the players capable of flirting with a triple-double on a nightly basis.

"He told me I was one of the guys in the league that could either come close or flirt with a triple-double every night," Jackson said. "That says a lot from a Hall of Fame coach like Larry Brown to believe that you can do that."

It was the second career triple-double for Jackson, who had one with the Warriors two seasons ago.

The Bobcats defeated Toronto by a final of 101-96 on Wednesday.

?We still have a long way to go but I am proud of them," said Larry Brown. "We weren?t feeling great at halftime and a couple of our players were kind of down. But the best way to overcome adversity is to play like (Stephen Jackson) and Tyrus (Thomas) did in the second half. They gave us a chance to win.?

Bobcats forward Stephen Jackson has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for verbally abusing a referee after Friday's loss to Detroit.

Jackson was hit with a technical foul by referee Steve Javie late in the third quarter, complaining he was fouled on a made basket.

The Bulls have explored the possibility of trading forward James Johnson to the Bobcats, sources close to the situation told ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

It remains to be seen if the talks will turn serious.
