Francis denied it after the game, but photographer Jeff Reinking said that he was kicked by Francis, who had fallen on top of Reinking on the baseline beneath the Magic's basket with 8:49 left in the game. Reinking spoke with an NBA security official, Robert Sale, who was making a report of the incident. "I fell back, couldn't get away from him," Reinking was heard telling the league official. "Then he kicked me." </div> Source
He has been suspended indefinitely <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW YORK (AP) -- Orlando guard Steve Francis was suspended indefinitely by the NBA on Saturday for kicking a courtside photographer in the fourth quarter of the Magic's loss in Seattle on Friday night. The NBA will investigate further before determining the length of the suspension. Former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman was suspended for 11 games and fined $25,000 for kicking a courtside cameraman on Jan. 17, 1997. </div> Source
The Magic season continues to come crashing down after the promising start. I don't think I like how the '"veterans" have been acting around Dwight and Jameer. First throwing lotion on a reporter(Stacy Augmon) and now kicking a photographer(Francis) Oh well at least now we can see how good Jameer really is and possibly get the #1 pick in the draft. (Bogut and Dwight would be the Twin Towers and no one would be able to stop them) Magic are the luckiest team in the lotto.
3 Game ban that sees it end after the back to back bobcats game - So actually it couldnt have come at a better time (or rather the timing was probably the best) Rather it came against these games than pho etc...
