NBA suspends Mavericks PA announcer for criticizing refs in tweets

Apr 11, 2014, 4:36 AM | Updated: 4:36 am

The Dallas Mavericks will be a little short-handed when the Phoenix Suns come to town Saturday evening.

Better put, they’ll be without their leading voice.

The NBA has suspended Dallas’ public address announcer Sean Heath for two games following a series of tweets he fired off criticizing the league’s officials.

Following the Mavericks’ heartbreaking 122-120 overtime loss at home to the Golden State Warriors on April 1, Heath was none too pleased with the officiating, in particular Danny Crawford.

So naturally, he took to Twitter.

Needless to say, Heath will have to learn the “think before pressing send” lesson the hard way starting Saturday.

No word yet on what the Mavericks’ record is when Heath’s not behind the microphone.
