NEW YORK -- Philadelphia 76ers forward Arnett Moultrie has been suspended five games without pay for a league drug violation.
Jarrett Boykin Packers Jersey . The NBA said his suspension will begin with Monday nights game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Moultrie was assigned to Delaware of the D-League on March 15 after playing 12
games this season. He will also be ineligible to play for Delaware during the
suspension. Moultrie is averaging 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds. He was the 27th
pick in the 2012 draft. Philadelphia coach Brett Brown declined comment on the
specifics of the suspension before his team faced the Hawks. "Part of that whole
collective bargaining is we let the league do what the league has to do," Brown
said. "What I will say is, Arnett is still a part of the team and we will reach
out to him and help him where we can."

cranky Phil.DOHA, Qatar -- Sergio Garcia birdied the third extra hole to beat
Mikko Ilonen in a playoff Saturday and win the Qatar Masters for his second
victory in three events. Garcia entered the round three shots behind overnight
leader Rafa Cabrera-Bello but birdied six of his last 12 for a 7-under 65,
forcing Ilonen to make an 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to force the
playoff with a 66. They both finished on 16-under 272. Garcia missed an 8-foot
birdie putt on the last that would have given him the win in regulation, and
then couldnt make an eagle putt for the victory on the first playoff hole. The
Spaniard and Ilonen both had birdies on the second extra hole as well before
Garcia sealed the victory with a tap-in birdie at the third to Ilonens par. "I
started the day thinking if I can shoot a 6 or 7 under, I can have a chance,"
Garcia. "Im very happy to be able to win it." Cabrera-Bello only managed a 69
and fell to a tie for third with Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark (68). Garcias
victory helped make up for last years disappointment in Doha, when he finished
runner-up after Englands Chris Wood eagled the last hole to claim his first
European Tour win. It also came on the heels of his victory at the Thailand Golf
CChampionship in December, when he had his girlfriend Katharina Boehm caddie for
him.
Jared Cook Packers Jersey. Boehm was among the first to congratulate him after he sealed the win on Saturday. "When things
off the golf course are on good terms it is a little easier to concentrate when
you dont have too many things in your head," Garcia said. "I am very fortunate
with Kathy and with my family and all those around me, so its great to be
playing well and to be in this winning situation with the goal now to keep
improving. "I still feel like I can do better and that is the goal." Ilonen was
seeking just his third tour victory after ending a six-year winless drought last
June at the Nordea Masters. "I came up two shots short of my target in
regulation thinking a 64 would win outright, but a 66 was good enough for the
playoff," the Finn said. "But Sergio was a bit better than me." Olesen had the
chance to join the playoff but missed his eight-foot eagle putt on 18. European
No. 1 Henrik Stenson finished strongly with birdies on his last four holes for a
67 that put him in a tie for 28th -- perhaps a good sign at the end of a
disappointing tournament ahead of next weeks Dubai Desert Classic.
