Hawks' Marvin Williams suspended New York, NY (Sports Network) - Atlanta Hawks forward Marvin Williams has been
suspended for one game without pay for committing a flagrant-2 foul, the NBA
announced on Wednesday.
Williams was ejected with 9:09 remaining in the third quarter after knocking
Boston's Rajon Rondo to the floor in Game 7 of the team's Eastern Conference
quarterfinal series.
Rondo was on his way to an easy layup when Williams horse-collared the guard
and threw him to the floor. The officials immediately called the flagrant
foul, which carries an automatic ejection.
Josh Childress will be a restricted free agent this summer, but he'd like to stay in Atlanta. "We have to make sure that we all stick together," Childress tells the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "That is something that is going to come up this summer. So something that I think we all have to take a look at. If we are going to be good, we have to stay together."
Josh Smith would like to stick with the Hawks for the 2008-09 season. He is a restricted free agent this summer. "Most definitely, we came a long way," Smith tells the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I grew with this team."
