ESPN.com reports that Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki has been suspended for today's game against the Los Angeles Clippers after being called for a flagrant-2 foul Friday night against Utah.
The ruling came down about three hours before today's tipoff, scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Central in Los Angeles.
Nowitzki swung his arm and struck Jazz forward Matt Harpring in the face with a closed-fist, which by definition would result in a suspension. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle argued that the closed-fist wasn't intentional.
