NEW YORK (AP)—Dwight Howard’s(notes) latest technical foul has been upheld by the
NBA after a review, leaving Orlando’s All-Star center one away from another
suspension.
Howard was called for his league-leading 17th technical Monday with 1:17
left in the Magic’s 113-106 loss at New York. After fouling out while going for
an offensive rebound, Howard tossed the ball into the backcourt.
Orlando players said that would usually warrant a delay of game warning and
Howard said he would try to get it rescinded, but an NBA spokesman said Tuesday
the appeal was denied.
Orlando’s center Dwight Howard is averaging 22.4 points per game this season.

Howard already served a one-game suspension once he accumulated his 16th
tech. Players are then suspended another game for every other technical received
after that.
