New York, NY - Seattle SuperSonics forward Danny Fortson was suspended for one game without pay on Friday for his flagrant foul of Sacramento's Ron Artest in Wednesday's preseason game.
The incident occurred with three seconds remaining in the first period when Fortson made excessive contact with Artest's head and body during the Sonics' 103-88 defeat of the Kings at KeyArena.
Fortson, who also had his Flagrant Foul, Penalty One upgraded to a Flagrant Foul, Penalty Two, will serve his suspension when the SuperSonics open their season at home on November 1 against Portland.
