NBA hasn't ruled on West

DALLAS -- The NBA didn't rule on a fine and/or suspension for Dallas Mavericks guard Delonte West today.

West poked a finger into the ear of Utah Jazz guard Gordon Hayward with 3:40 left in the second period of. West was assessed a technical foul on the play, and a league spokesman said the NBA could make a ruling on the situation as early as Wednesday.

If West is suspended, the ruling would come down Wednesday. But if he is only fined, the ruling could come down any time this week.

West said of the incident: "I was just getting some lint out of his ear.''

In my mind it comes down to what IMAGE the nba wants to have. This isn't a first for West. If they don't fine and suspend him they are making it acceptable.
