From ESPN.com:
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant is not and was not at risk for another suspension after elbowing Philadelphia's Kyle Korver.
League sources told ESPN.com that the incident was reviewed strictly to
determine whether Bryant would be retroactively assessed a flagrant
foul after his left elbow connected with Korver in L.A.'s 108-92 road
defeat Friday night.That review, sources said, was completed Monday and
reclassified the hit as a Flagrant 1 foul, Bryant's first flagrant foul
of the season.In his first game back from a one-game suspension after landing an elbow to the face of Minnesota's Marko Jaric, Bryant extended his elbow as he tried to dribble away from Korver on the perimeter. No foul was called on the play.
The league does reserve the right to reclassify fouls or
non-calls as flagrant fouls following a video review.

The Inquirer actually has a photo of what looks like the dirty play. (Photo Gallery, picture 4) As, Matt P. said, "That elbow Kobe threw at Kyle Korver won't do much to help with the fans here."
