DALLAS (AP)—Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire(notes) has picked up his 16th
technical foul, which would mean an automatic one-game suspension if its upheld.
Stoudemire and Mavericks center Brendan Haywood(notes) received offsetting
technicals during the second quarter Thursday night. It was such an innocuous
confrontation that both players came away laughing, baffled by the call from
official Bennett Salvatore.
Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni didn’t find it so funny, apparently because he
understood the ramification. His griping drew another technical foul.
The only way Stoudemire can avoid the punishment is if the league rescinds
the technical. He’s had two others rescinded this season.
