Dwight Howard: Will Not Be Suspended For Game 5

Howard's flagrant one foul on Andrew Bogut in Game 4 has been reviewed by the NBA and will not be upgraded to a flagrant two. As a result, Howard will not be suspended for Game 5, Ken Berger of CBS Sports reports.

Analysis:

NBA President of Basketball Operations Rod Thorn said that Howard's contact with Bogut was unnecessary, but not excessive, and he was trying to "extricate himself from the situation." With that, Howard avoids what would have been a costly suspension for his team and will be active in Game 5 as the Rockets face elimination once again down 3-1 to the Warriors.
