Celtics big man Kelly Olynyk was suspended one game by the NBA on Monday for a foul on Cavaliers forward Kevin Love in Cleveland's 101-93 win over Boston on Sunday.

Love suffered a dislocated left shoulder on the play as Olynyk clamped down on his left arm while fighting for a rebound. The Cavaliers have ruled Love out of their second-round series, due to the injury.

I thought it was a bush league play, Love said of Olynyks foul on Sunday. I mean I was out there and Olynyk was in a compromising position and had no chance to get the ball. Its just too bad he would go to those lengths to take someone out of a game and do it to someone. I have no doubt in my mind he did it on purpose.

Olynyk told the Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach on Monday he did not mean to intentionally injury Love on the play.

"I think its just real unfortunate," Olynyk said. "If you get tangled up and he doesnt dislocate his shoulder, theres nothing dirty ever said or anything. Its just a foul. So I just really hope he can get back as soon as possible and help that team keep making a push."

Since the Celtics' postseason ended with the Game 4 defeat, Olynyk will serve his one-game suspension at the beginning of the 2015-16 regular season.

In addition to the Olynyk penalty, the league also handed Cavs guard J.R. Smith a two-game suspension for his backhanded swing on Celtics' small forward Jae Crowder in the third quarter of Game 4. Smith was assessed a flagrant-two foul and ejected for the play. He will miss the first two games of the Cavs' second-round series.

Cleveland center Kendrick Perkins also had his flagrant 1 foul on Crowder in the second quarter bumped up to a flagrant 2 by the league. Perkins was fined $15,000 as well for the hard screen.
