Tyson Chandler suspended 1 game

[DC4]

NEW YORK -- Hornets center Tyson Chandler was suspended without pay for New Orleans' game at Denver on Saturday for striking an opponent the previous night.

Chandler was ejected during the third quarter of the Hornets' 92-77 win at Portland on Friday for elbowing Trail Blazers center Joel Przybilla in the neck. Przybilla was also fined $7,500 for his role in the incident, the NBA said Saturday. He struck Chandler in the chest with his forearm before Chandler retaliated.

i agree with the one game, but how did pryzbilla get away with it? he didn't even get a tech. that videos shows you one side, not the game as a whole...you want a punk, look at pryzbilla.
