Howard suspended for Rockets' 2015-16 opener
HOUSTON — Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard has been suspended for the 2015-16 season opener because he collected his fourth flagrant foul point during the 2015 postseason, the NBA announced Friday.
The league reviewed a common foul Howard committed while setting a pick on Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s Game 5 of the Western Conference finals and upgraded it to a flagrant foul 1.
Howard hit Iguodala in the neck area with a forearm with 3:35 to play in the fourth quarter.
Also, the league rescinded the technical fouls Howard and Warriors center Andrew Bogut received in the second quarter of Game 5.
