Lamar Odom gets suspended and fined

This was no suprise move by the NBA and had to be expected. The Lakers Lamar Odom was suspended by the league for one game Tuesday because of a flagrant foul on Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen on Sunday at Staples Center.

Odom will sit out Friday's game against Philadelphia and will also forfeit $120,441 in pay.

After Odom's shot was blocked by Kevin Garnett, Odom appeared to slam his body into Allen, who retrieved the ball with 2:57 to play in the Lakers' 110-91 loss. Allen was called for a technical foul on the play for moving menacingly toward Odom after the collision.

Odom said afterward he was going for the ball. The league and Allen disagreed.
