Wizards center Hilton Armstrong was suspended for one game by the NBA for his shove that sent Miami Heat guard Joel Anthony to the floor. Anthony was in midair, attempting to dunk the ball. Armstrong shoved him, a very dangerous move against a much smaller player who, while midair, was essentially defenseless. From the NBA statement:
The incident, in which Armstrong made contact by shoving Anthony during a layup attempt and was ejected following the Flagrant Foul, Penalty Two call, occurred with :32 remaining in the 3rd period of the Wizards 105-94 loss to the Heat Monday at AmericanAirlines Arena.
Armstrong will serve his suspension tonight when the Wizards face the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre.
The mess got worse when Armstrong rushed over to check on Anthony and was shoved in the back by Heat forward Juwan Howard. Here’s the video:
