Dwight Howard suspended after drawing his 16th technical foul of the season

The Sixers got stomped down in South Beach last night, and during the game reserve center Dwight Howard received his 16th technical foul of the 2020-2021 season, per Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The team has been one crucial win away from locking up home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference Playoffs for two games now. After an 8 game winning streak, they fizzled in the second half against Indiana on Wednesday, squandering an 11 point halftime lead. And while Joel Embiid missed that game with a non-COVID flu then returned for the game in Miami, the offense did not return with him.
