Shaq Escapes Suspension; Fined $25,000 for Detroit Foul on Stuckey

Shaquille O' NealIf Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’ Neal were suspended, you are bound to hear a lot of uproar from the Suns organization and the fans. On the other hand, if he was, Detroit, particularly Rodney Stuckey, may have been vindicated. Sorry to say, Shaq was only fined for the flagrant foul penalty 2 which saw the big guy ejected in their win against Detroit.

No matter how many times you view the incident, Shaq never had any intention to purposely harm Stuckey. The only fault Shaq did was that for a big bodied 7-footer, jumping and playing defense showed it as a hard play.

Shaq was fined $25,000 for flagrant foul penalty 2 and will be on hand when the Suns meet the Lakers on Nov. 20. Watch it big fella, your next ejection or fine may not be that lenient. All eyes are on you now.
