Chris Andersen suspended for Game 6 of Eastern Conference Finals

Indy Cornrows — David Stern felt Miami Heat center Chris Andersen deserved an ejection for his actions in Game 5, where he sent a cheap shot to the back of Tyler Hansbrough. The foul was assessed a technical and a Flagrant 1, but Stern appeared disappointed with the result of the call, reviewing the situation and deciding to suspend Andersen for Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers.
