He is suspended for the next match. If the card was given in the opening stage, it is not carried into the next phase should the team advance.

No they are not paid on how well they play in each game they are paid this amount of money because of the talent they have, and if they fail to perform at the end of the contract they will be transfered or put on a free transfer witch i would say is like being "sacked" so they have to play well to carry on being paid this money. Be a bit unfair to just stop wages all together imagine having all them huge bills to pay from the expensive house and nice car's and going through a bad patch they could end up losing it all and having to start over. Going from £200,000 to £0 a week\n\nDon't get me wrong they are paid crazy amounts of money but we wouldn't be complaining if it was us!

I'm sure there's some predetermined formula and it may be based upon league revenues. I found some indication of what the approximate monies may be. The playoff pool for the 2003 NBA playoffs was $8.75 million. The figures noted below are per team, not per player.\n\nThe San Antonio Spurs got a total of $256,000 for having the best record in the league that year. The Spurs and the Detroit Pistons got $224,000 for having the best record in their conferences.\n\nMoney was given out for the second-best ($180,000) through sixth-best ($60,000) teams in each conference.\n\nThe 16 teams playing in the first round of the playoffs got $130,100 each; conference semifinalists got $154,800 each; conference finalists got $255,800 each.\n\nThe Spurs got $1,543,000 for winning the title. The Nets got $1,023,000.\n\nPlayers of teams vote full or partial shares of pool money and give it to team personnel as they see fit.

NEW YORK -- New Orleans Hornets forward Chris Andersen was dismissed and disqualified from the NBA on Friday for violating the league's drug policy.\n\nAndersen must wait two years before he can apply for reinstatement, the league said.\n\nAccording to the league's collective bargaining agreement, a player can only be disqualified for a fourth positive test for performance-enhancing drugs, or a first positive test for "drugs of abuse."\n\nThe drugs on that list are amphetamine and its analogs, which include methamphetamine; cocaine; LSD; opiates, including heroin, codeine and morphine; and PCP.\n\nAndersen has not previously been suspended for steroid use.\n\nAndersen, 27, averaged 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 32 games this season, his fifth in the NBA. He played three seasons for the Nuggets before joining the Hornets.\n\nHe has a four-year, $14 million contract with the Hornets through the 2008-09 season that pays him $3.5 million a year.\n\nHornets owner George Shinn said in a statement released by the team, "we were obviously disappointed and saddened to hear that Chris has been dismissed from the league.\n\n"On behalf of his teammates, coaches and the entire organization, we wish him well and hope he learns from this experience," Shinn said.\n\nKnown as "Birdman" for his high-flying dunks, Andersen was a favorite among Hornets fans in Oklahoma City, where the team is playing most of its home games this season.\n\nNeither the NBA nor the union is allowed to comment on specifics of a player's drug test.\n\n"The players' association plans on filing a grievance on Chris Andersen's behalf," union spokesman Dan Wasserman said. "Our expectation is that a grievance hearing will take place in approximately two weeks."\n\nThe hearing will be heard by an independent grievance arbitrator.\n\nAndersen played in 67 games for the Hornets last season, averaging 7.7 points and 6.1 rebounds.\n\nHe is best known for his performance in the NBA's dunk contest last year when he needed eight tries to finish his first dunk.\n\nAndersen is the first player kicked out because of drugs since Stanley Roberts in 1999.\n\nPlayers who test positive for steroids or performance enhancing drugs, masking agents and diurectics get a 10-game suspension (1st offense), a 25-game suspension (2nd offense), a one-year suspension (3rd offense) and disqualification (4th offense).\n\nMarijuana penalties are a $25,000 fine (2nd offense), a five-game suspension (3rd offense), a 10-game suspension (4th offense), and five additional games for each subsequent violation.\n\nMaterial from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Sprewell does not play anymore because he asked for too much much money during free agency period. He can still sign to another team but right now no one wants him. They are probally scared of getting choked.

He's suspended, so that gets them off the hook for 50 days worth of his salary.  Beyond that, it will come down to whether they have an anti-illegal drug clause in his contract.

Yes. Suppose if a player get a yellow card in game 1 and another one in game 3. He will be suspended for game 4, which is the next game.

Yes i think Bell should totally be suspended from the game. This was not just a elbow or throwing someone off, it was a act of violence. In which husbands get arrested for everyday. To physically take someone when you are totally in control and no event or altercation at that moment is taking place, to cause you to react in a headlock of a player is totally out of control and then push him down. Another point I have to make is that kobe had the ball and they were just playing their position and just by looking at each-other no words Bell decides to take it upon himself to act in violence with no threat at that time. Bell is a timebomb waiting to explode and if he is not suspended and fined the next time his act of violence will be what? He will get more power and think he can fight on the court for a simple foul. Most of the time when a altercation occurs it because something just happened that the player feel was unfair. Not just guarding a player who has the ball. Bell really needs some anger management classes along with suspension and a fine. In fact every player that is suspended for violence on the court should be be ordered to anger management classes. I think the classes will help the players as well as the overwhelming suspension that the NBA has to deal with. Remember this is a sport not a place to fight!!!!! If I wanted to watch ultimate fighting challenge I would watch that not basketball.

He is not suspended but they are not playing him either as he said he did not want to be a Pacer anylonger after they stuck up for him. Now he tried to block a trade to Sacramento because he let it leak that he did not want to go there although he denies it now that the damage is done

He will be in the nfl next year.  His suspension is only one year.  He is in it for the money and he gets a lot more in the nfl.  So thats where hell be.

No by the game my friends brother's best friend is in the NBA. Andrew Bynum and he said he made a certain amount of money every playoff game it was like 200,000. It sounds crazy.

Tell me about it! The Sacramento Kings got totttaly screwed out of that one.It was their own fault they lost but the refs were given terrible call. Greg Pop probably said 1000.00$.\n\n PS. ( and a slap on the butt!)

I don't think he can be terminated, but he/she can be suspended with or without pay until the investigation is concluded or a decision is made by the courts.  If suspended without pay, i'm sure that the pay will be reinstated is the person is to be found innocent
