Atlanta Hawks forward Al Horford will not receive any additional penalties as a result of being ejected from Sunday’s Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers for committing a flagrant 2 foul, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday.
The Hawks feared Horford might be suspended for a game after he was ejected for giving Cavs guard Matthew Dellavedova an elbow to the shoulder area after the two got tangled up while pursuing a loose ball.
Dellavedova received a technical foul, and Horford received the flagrant 2 foul, which means automatic ejection. Horford’s actions seemed to be retaliation after Dellavedova crashed into Horford’s legs during the scramble.
Horford will be available for Game 4 on Tuesday. The Cavaliers lead the best-of-seven series 3-0.
