League Adds to Suns' Woes

Posted May 16, 07 6:29 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Two of the Suns' most valuable big men will miss Game 5 for briefly leaving the bench after Robert Horry's grotesque foul against Steve Nash, who was thrown against the scorer's table Monday. An NBA rule states that a player who leaves "the immediate vicinity of the bench" during an altercation automatically receives a suspension.

Horry, who has averaged 3.9 points per game for the Spurs, is suspended for two games. Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw will sit out one each. Nash, who also had his nose bloodied by Tony Parker's forehead in Game 1 and his groin kneed by Bruce Bowen in Game 3, told ESPN he was too "disgusted" to comment.
