Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Orlando Magic guard Steve Francis was suspended indefinitely by the NBA on Saturday for kicking a courtside photographer in the fourth quarter of the Magic's loss in Seattle on Friday night.
The NBA will investigate further before determining the length of the suspension. Former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman was suspended for 11 games and fined $25,000 for kicking a courtside cameraman on Jan. 17, 1997.
Francis, who had 19 points for the Magic, denied kicking the man.
"He threw my legs down, man. That was it," Francis said Friday night. "No. Uh, uh. I don't know what happened."
The Magic played at Portland on Saturday night.

He just hasn't been the same since he lost his "special friend"
, fantasy hoops disaster in the making
Rodman, got...what, eleven games when he kicked the Fotag in the nads?
Grade A puss...I can hardly believe people who aren't fans of those two teams would even like the guy.
Tnx for stealing my thunder Kori.
Sorry, Kultura. I didn't see it in the NBA forum until after I posted it here.
J/k you start better threads anyway
steve could get traded ĺgain this offseason
Word is that the Magic are not enamoured of him, and think that Jameer might be ready for prime time.steve could get traded ĺgain this offseason
^^ I would agree.
Fantastic guy ol Stevie Francis.
But yeah, he is better than Parker.
Stevie Franchise has the talent to be an HOF player, but cannot, will not, rise from the level of merely being a talented punk.
The NBA game is in large part mental. That's where Stevie has always fallen short. He's too worried about stats and respect and every other damn thing except winning.
The shoulder of the NBA highway is littered with talent.
I would say that I've lost all respect for Francis, but I've had none for him since he refused to play for the Grizzlies. You don't like the draft, go play in Europe.
The draft is so fundamental to giving teams a fighting shot against the Lakers and Knicks and Mavericks of the world, and pricks like Kobe, Francis, Danny Ferry, Baron Davis, etc. on this league when they try to weasel out of their commitments.
Orlando is not to up on Francis. I say his ass is gone as soon as possible.
DANNY FERRY? Who did he not want to play for?
Ferry sat out a year and forced a trade to the Clippers for Ron Harper the next season... worked out pretty well for the Clips.
Franchise has the body and talent to dominate his position on both sides of the ball but he's all about iso's and clear outs and really lacks in the mental part of the game.
Van Gundy was the first coach to put him in a strict inside out system and he actually bought into more then i expeted. He was on the right path and slowly learning how to become a real point but now in orlando he's gone back to his old ways.
If im the orlando gm i seriously consider moving him if the right deal came along. Dwight Howard is the one they should be building around
