Magic center Dwight Howard will not be suspended for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Celtics.

Howard was called for a Flagrant Foul 1 during the second quarter of Game 2 on Tuesday night after swinging his arm down around the head of Boston captain Paul Pierce.

NBA officials spent part of Wednesday deciding whether to upgrade Howard's foul or suspend him for Game 3.

A league spokesperson said the play will "stand as called."
