Montrezl Harrell has been suspended five games without pay for shoving a referee to the floor during an altercation with Derek Cooke Jr.

The incident occurred after the final of the Bakersfield Jam's win on Saturday over the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

Harrell was on a D-League assignment by the Houston Rockets.

The Houston Rockets were interested in bring Sergio Llull to the NBA last offseason and Daryl Morey was in Spain this week on a scouting trip.

“I’ll be watching Llull live, but right now I can’t say if we will try to sign him again this summer," said Morey. "I’ve been in Italy, Serbia and Malaga. We are not seeking anything in particular. We are always looking at players who can help us.”

The Rockets weren't able to sign Llull and ended up trading for Ty Lawson in an attempt to upgrade the point guard position.

"There are always interesting players, draft players for the draft to see and that we can come in handy," said Morey.

Dwight Howard "would entertain a return" to the Orlando Magic.

Howard was drafted by the Magic in 2004 and led the franchise to The Finals in 2009. Howard was traded by the Magic to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2012.

Dwight Howard believes the Houston Rockets have a championship caliber team.

Howard can become a free agent this offseason and he must decide whether to keep trying to push through with the Rockets are begin again with a fourth NBA franchise.

“Regardless of how our season is going so far, regardless of the fact that we haven't played up to our expectations, I really believe that we have a championship caliber team,” Howard said. “Nobody else has to believe it, and that's fine. The whole world can be against us. But if those 15 guys in the locker room believe that we can win, then we will win. There's no doubt about it. We had a great season last year, and the reason why we were able to come in the playoffs and do what we did is because we believed.”

Howard's relationship with James Harden has frequently been a topic of discussion.

“People feel ... like we hate each other,” Howard said. “I have no hate in my blood for this man, you know? For what? He came from nothing. We both came from nothing. And we're doing something that we love. We grew up playing this game for fun, and we had big dreams of making it to the NBA. So I would never hate this man because I know what it took for me to get here, and he made it. So I want him to succeed. I want us to succeed. I just - before coming here - I watched endless hours of YouTube videos on James Harden, before he had the beard. I watched all that stuff, because I'm like, 'Dang, this boy, he's got so much talent.'

“I know where he's at, because I've been there, as far as everybody looking at you and they expect so much from you. And you're one of the best players in the league. All that stuff, I've been there, you know what I'm saying?”

The Rockets have had a disappointing 15-16 season after reaching the Western Conference Finals in 2015.

“We both have to figure out how we're going to make this thing work,” Howard said. “It's on us. We've got the rest of the season, and the playoffs, and we can do it. It's a mindset. It's a mentality. And the whole team will fall in line when me and him are on that same page and the team sees that we're strong together.”

“If we just come together like we're supposed to - and it takes time, you know. It takes time. If we can just come together like we're supposed to and like we want to, then I'm telling you, we can win a championship.”

The NBA has decided not to suspend Dwight Howard for his stickum incident.

Howard put stickum on his hands and then wiped it off on the basketball before a Paul Millsap free throw.

The sent a memo to teams that the drying supplement is "strictly prohibited."

Dwight Howard was caught using stickum during the Houston Rockets game against the Atlanta Hawks.

As Howard was about to check back into the game, he sprayed his hands at the scorer’s table with a can covered in white tape.

Howard entered the game as Paul Millsap was at the free-throw line and grabbed the ball after a made attempt. When Millsap got the ball back it clearly had a foreign substance on it.

J.B. Bickerstaff tried to hide the can as referee Monty McCutchen grabbed the ball and went to each bench to issue a warning, saying ‘Stickum is illegal in the NBA.’

No penalty was enforced but the NBA is reviewing the incident.

Dwight Howard plans to hire Shaquille O’Neal’s agent, Perry Rogers, for his new representation.

Rogers doesn't have any other NBA clients and established his reputation as tennis legend Andre Agassi's longtime agent.

Howard and O'Neal have long had a feud, but the two had extensive conversations together and sold him on the marketing of “Superman” and the representation of Rogers.

O'Neal publicly mocked Howard for using the "Superman" moniker.

Howard will be a free agent this offseason.

Dwight Howard has interest in coming to the New York Knicks if he opts out of his current contract.

It is unclear if Phil Jackson and the Knicks would reciprocate and have interest in Howard.
