The NBA has suspended Houston Rockets star James Harden for one game without pay for kicking LeBron James in the groin.
The All-Stars and Olympic teammates became tangled in the third quarter of Houston's 105-103 victory over Cleveland on Sunday and Harden fell back to the court, then kicked his foot up into James.
Harden was given a flagrant foul 1 for the play, which the league upgraded on Monday to a flagrant 2, which would have been an automatic ejection if called at the time.
