Jerry Stackhouse of the Dallas Mavericks has been suspended one game without pay for making unnecessary and excessive contact with Shaquille O’Neal of the Miami Heat during Game 4 of the 2006 NBA Finals, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President Basketball Operations.

“The contact by Jerry Stackhouse was clearly excessive and warrants a suspension,” Jackson said.

The foul, which was upgraded to a Flagrant Foul Penalty Two, occurred with 6:29 remaining in the third quarter of the Mavericks’ 98-74 loss to the Heat at AmericanAirlines Arena on June 15.
