Bruce Bowen of San Antonio, who has the longest active consecutive games played streak in the NBA, won't play Friday night after he was suspended earlier in the day.

Streak ends
Bruce Bowen had played in the most consecutive games among active NBA players until he was suspended Friday. A look at the top five:

Name Games
Bruce Bowen 500
Andre Miller 431
Tayshaun Prince 394
Dwight Howard 312
DeShawn Stevenson 232

Bowen was suspended one game without pay for using his leg to hit New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul in a game Wednesday night. A foul was called on Paul in the third quarter and Bowen retaliated by kicking Paul.

The Spurs are in Detroit for a game Friday night.

Bowen began his streak on Feb. 28, 2002. Bowen has played and started 500 straight games, the most in the league. It began on Feb. 28, 2002.

The longest consecutive games streak will now be owned by Andre Miller, who has 431 consecutive games played and 430 consecutive starts.

Besides his streak, Bowen will lose about $373,000.
