Turiaf Could Be Suspended

Hooped Up | May 12, 2008

The NBA will review the play and it is possible Turiaf could be suspended by the league for Game 5 on Wednesday night at Staples Center. The league has cracked down on fouls to the head in recent seasons, accidental or not. “I hope the league sees that I went for the ball,” Turiaf said when asked if he expected to be suspended. “I tried to grab the shot. I didn’t do anything dirty. I didn’t undercut him. It’s one of those freak plays that happen in basketball. “Everybody jumped up and started calling me names, acting like I tried to hurt somebody. For me, I was just trying to make a play on the basketball. I don’t know, man. I don’t know.”
