SACRAMENTO -- Orlando Magic forward Stacey Augmon was suspended by the NBA for tonight's game against the Sacramento Kings for a locker-room incident on Sunday night with reporters that included Augmon squirting lotion on the media. Augmon screamed at reporters in the Magic's locker room after the loss to the New Jersey Nets.

The league also fined Magic guard DeShawn Stevenson $7,500 for kicking a ball into the seats during the game at TD Waterhouse Centre Sunday night.

Magic center Tony Battie escaped a possible suspension for stepping on the court while an altercation was happening between Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu and New Jersey Nets guard Zoran Planinic. Battie, who was sitting on the bench at the time, stood up and walked on the court during the closing seconds of the game. The league ruled that Battie rightfully so, thought the game was over.

I'm a bit surprised, because I thought the league would suspend Battie for stepping on the court. Good to see that they acknowledged the fact that he thought the game was over.

I'm just happy Battie was not suspended for leaving the bench.

We need all our post players on this 5 game stretch.
