NBA Reduces Suspensions For Villanueva

AUBURN HILLS (AP) - The NBA has reduced suspensions for the Pistons' Charlie Villanueva by one game because of the shortened season.

Villanueva was originally suspended five games for instigating an altercation with Cleveland's Ryan Hollins and attempting to escalate it by entering the Cavaliers' locker room.

He served a game of it last season and will have to miss the first three of this season, and is also eligible to play to New Year's Eve against Indiana.
