I knew that was going to happen.
Raja Bell of the Phoenix Suns has been suspended for one game without pay for kicking Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors , it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.
The incident occurred with 3:04 remaining in the third period of Suns’ 100-98 win over the Raptors at Air Canada Centre on Wednesday, January 3.
Bell will serve the suspension tonight when the Suns host the Miami Heat at US Airways Center.

Serves him right. Why was he kicking Bargnani?
Also- when a player gets suspended without pay.. where do those funds go?
Charity - just think how much money was given as a result of the "Malice at the Palace" and the latest brawl!
No kidding! Thanks.
So, if you think about it, Raja actually did a good deed by kicking him in Reggie Evans and Jason Terry's favorite area.
Typical Mav fan logic.
Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd time this season Bell has been suspended for dirty play???
You know I'm joking, right?
I don't remember him being suspended yet this season, but maybe I missed it.Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd time this season Bell has been suspended for dirty play???
Of course, silly. I always think joke when I think Dallas.
Dirty bas .

I just checked his game log and he's only missed 2 games this year with a rib injury.

No.
He was kicked for technicals against Detroit and has fouled out 2 or 3 times but this is his first suspension since the Kobe takedown in the playoffs.
It wasn't much of a kick and it didn't even connect. It was almost like he started to kick and pulled back.
Still he probably deserves to be suspended. I don't think kicking and basketball should ever go together.
I think a one-game suspension might be a little harsh for a kick that didn't even connect. A hefty fine, sure, but there was no harm done on the play.
However, D'Antoni needs to let Bell know that like that won't be tolerated. The Suns are a clean team, and Bell isn't helping that reputation.
How many did Carmelo get for a punch that didn't connect? Or is this low-key because it happened in Canuckistan, where people take sports tussles in stride?
anyone got a video of this?
He has a history (suspended for clothes-lining Kobe in playoffs last season) of this type of crap is why the penalty was a little harsher than maybe he deserved.
He's a bit of a punk but I'd take him on my team any day. I always liked him when he was a Mav. The Suns probably need a guy like that cuz they're made up of mostly soft/nice guys.
Mardy Collins then flopped like a huge if that punch didn't connect... may have outdone Bell, Ginobili and Devin Harris with that acting job...
