The NBA has decided to reduce the suspensions for Lakers center Andrew Bynum and Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva.

Bynum had been suspended five games for body-slamming then-Mavericks guard J.J. Barea during the Lakers' playoff loss to Dallas.

Now, the NBA has reduced that to the first four games of the regular season that he is physically ready to play.

Villanueva was suspended five games for initiating an on-court altercation with Cleveland Cavaliers center Ryan Hollins and attempting to escalate it by entering the Cavaliers' locker room.
