JAMES HARDEN: Suspended for Kicking LeBron James in the Groin

The Houston Rockets edged out LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday by a mere two points, but it appears that they'll have to pay for it. The NBA announced Monday that Rockets star James Harden has been suspended for one game after he was caught kicking LeBron in the groin late in the third quarter.

During the game, Harden was hit was a flagrant-1 foul, but that's since been upgraded to a flagrant-2, meaning Harden will have to sit out Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Harden didn't strike LeBron with full force, but kicking King James -- the NBA's biggest star -- in the junk on national TV is probably not a wise move. (Yahoo! Sports)
