Zach Randolph suspended for one game because of gesture made to fans

Portland Trail Blazers forward Zach Randolph was suspended for a game for an obscene gesture he made to the crowd in Friday night's loss at Indiana, the team announced Saturday.

Randolph will miss Sunday's game in Toronto. He also will be fined, the team said.

Randolph had 29 points and four rebounds before fouling out with 15 seconds left.

``I was frustrated there at the end of the game. That shouldn't happen, and I apologize for that and it won't happen again,'' he said afterward.

The Blazers lost 108-95.

Randolph is averaging 25.9 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.
