Dwight Howard will likely serve another one-game suspension because he picked up an eighteenth technical foul in Wednesday night's game at Charlotte.

Howard has always been deliberate at the line, and referee Bennett Salvatore called a violation for taking too long to attempt his second shot late in the second quarter.

Howard tossed the ball away from any official. Salvatore immediately gave Howard a technical.

If the technical is upheld by the league, Howard will sit out Sunday's nationally televised game against the Chicago Bulls.
