The Houston Rockets were dealt some interesting news after their Game 5 Western Conference Finals bow-out against the Golden State Warriors this past Wednesday.
Dwight Howard, who has had his fair share of flagrant foul calls as of late, has another one added to his resume.
The NBA has decided that Howard will have his common foul upgraded to a Flagrant Level 1 foul to which he’ll be penalized by being suspended for the first game of the 2015-16 season.
The NBA reports:
HOU’s D. Howard has common foul upgraded to Flagrant 1 (WCF Game 5, 3:35/qtr 4), suspended one game to open 2015-16 regular season.
