Liz Robbins of the New York Times reports that the NBA is reviewing the videotape of Kenyon Martin's flagrant foul on Utah's Karl Malone on Saturday night and will have a decision soon on whether Martin will be fined or suspended.  A decision is expected in a couple of days.  

Martin was behind Malone on the fast break. He tried to stop Malone's shot by taking a swing at him from behind. He hammered the right side of Malone's neck and face, sending the 240-pound power forward toppling to the floor.  Martin was assessed a Level 2 flagrant foul, which is a flagrant foul with excessive contact.

Martin is a player with fiery emotions. "I don't play angry, just very aggressive," he said last month.  Team president Rod Thorn said, "I would be very surprised if there were a suspension," adding that "I think Kenyon is making a reputation as one of the best defensive forwards in this league. I'm very happy with the way he's competed, and his energy is a big part of why this team has been successful."
