Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has been suspended one game without pay for elbowing Philadelphia 76ers center Samuel Dalembert in the head, it was announced Wednesday by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.
The incident occurred with 9:15 remaining in the first period of Orlando's 91-78 victory over the 76ers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Amway Arena last night.
Howard will serve his suspension tomorrow night when the Magic faces the 76ers in Game 6 at Wachovia Center.

The 76ers immediately asked the NBA to review an elbow thrown by Orlando's Dwight Howard in the first quarter of Tuesday night's Game 5.
Howard threw an elbow at Philadelphia center Samuel Dalembert after the two got tangled up underneath the basket.
Many expect Howard to be suspended for Game 6 because of the incident, and the 76ers claim he should have been thrown out of Game 5 following the elbow.
"I'll let the NBA deal with that," Dalembert said after the game. "If it was me, I'd have been thrown out already."
