Cassell punished

Posted by Marc J. Spears, Globe Staff February 8, 2008 02:54 PM

Los Angeles Clippers guard Sam Cassell has been suspended one game without pay for committing a Flagrant Foul Penalty Two by swinging and making contact with the head of Boston’s Rajon Rondo, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President Basketball Operations.

The incident occurred with 2:54 remaining in the second quarter of the Clippers 111-100 loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night at TD Banknorth Garden. Cassell will serve his suspension tonight when the Clippers visit the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre.

  1. Cassell too old for celtics. He was poor sportmanship. Rondo far better than Cassell..

  1. Maybe he was trying to create a job opening... ;-)
