Biyombo in line for suspension after flagrant foul

TORONTO -- Raptors center Bismack Biyombo was handed a flagrant foul 1 after official review Friday night in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals for elbowing Cavaliers forward Kevin Love in the face on a rebound clear-out attempt and faces a one-game suspension for exceeding the postseason flagrant foul limit.

With his fourth flagrant foul of the postseason, Biyombo has exceeded the playoff total of three points, which results in an automatic suspension according to NBA rules.

If this flagrant foul is upheld, Biyombo could serve the suspension if a Game 7 is necessary against Cleveland.
