Biyombo hit with costly flagrant for elbow to Love

If the Toronto Raptors manage to force a Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, center Bismack Biyombo will not be playing in it.

Biyombo was retroactively hit with a flagrant-1 foul for the first-quarter elbow above in Game 6. No foul was initially called on the play, with Biyombo awarded a basket after grabbing an offensive rebound and clearing out Kevin Love. The play was reviewed, however, and when the flagrant was assessed, the basket was negated.

Coming into the game, Biyombo had amassed three flagrant points in the postseason, one shy of the threshold for suspension. If the Raptors win Friday, he'll serve the suspension Sunday, unless this flagrant is rescinded.
