Hornets' Posey suspended for one game by NBA
New York, NY (Sports Network) - New Orleans Hornets forward James Posey has been given a one-game suspension by the NBA for his actions in a game against the New York Knicks on March 27 at Madison Square Garden.
The veteran took exception to a foul called against him and tossed the ball at the feet of official Gary Zielinski with 5:46 left in the fourth quarter. As a result Posey did not play when New Orleans beat San Antonio, 90-86, on Sunday.
In 71 games this season, Posey is averaging 8.9 points and 4.9 rebounds.
