    A flurry of publicity surrounded the suspension of NBA referee following a showdown with San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan. It was with much less fanfare that Crawford was reinstated.

    Basketball News has learned that NBA Commissioner David Stern, satisfied that Crawford has learned his lesson, has reinstated one of the NBA's most respected referees.

    Crawford was suspended for the season after he had words with Duncan and then ejected him during an emotionally-charged game in Dallas against the Mavericks. Duncan was fined $25,000 for his part in the incident.

    "Especially in light of similar prior acts by this official, a significant suspension is warranted," Stern said at the time. "Although Joey is consistently rated as one of our top referees, he must be held accountable for his actions on the floor, and we will have further discussions with him following the season to be sure he understands his responsibilities."

    Now an agreement has been reached, and Crawford will once again patrol the NBA hardwoods.

    I'll believe it when I see it from a source that doesn't invent stories.

    Crawford is one of my favorite refs. And Tim Duncan is my favorite NBA player.

    I don't want to see these two fight.

    How about a race on the hardwood in the 2008 All-Star, instead?

    I can't still believe Barkley won over Bavetta this yr, BTW

    Crawford should be re-instated. He doesn't take from anybody and called out that pansy ass Bavetta for the little he is. I like that.

    Besides, it was Crawford that got Duncan and the Spurs fired up into playoff mode anyway. The Spurs should love him.
