The Golden State Warriors have suspended guard Monta Ellis for 30 games for violating Paragraph 12 of the Uniform Player Contract, announced today by President Robert Rowell. The suspension will take effect immediately and will extend through the team’s December 17th contest against the Indiana Pacers.
“The cooperation that we received from Jeff Fried (Monta’s representative) enabled us to be very diligent in collecting all of the facts surrounding the incident,” Rowell said. “This 30-game suspension is a result of that. From this point forward, it is the complete focus of everyone involved to provide Monta with all the support he needs to have a successful rehabilitation and to get him back on the court as an integral part of this team.”
He's gonna miss the first 2 months due to the injury. So basically Golden State is just not paying him while he nurses his own stupid ass injury. Very fair.
-
so he got suspended cus of the way he got injured or wtf..i dont get it?
-
He lied and said he got hurt in practice when he really hurt himself on a motorcycle I believe.
-
icic damn monta is the future of that team...30 games is too much imo
-

-

what im saying is that this suspension is equivilant to s-jack's
thats bs
-
^It's different. Jax was banned by the league for attacking niggas. Monta was banned by his team as for them to say "Fuck you we are not paying you for that self-inflicted injury you irresponsible, lying bastard".
I agree with both.

Lol @ Stephen Jackson and Ron Artest suspensions being unfair. They jumped in the crowd and started punching fans. You can't do that shit.

i said Monte's was unfair
or are u talking about spice's reply??
never in any way can u go and attack fans, even the greats like Ty Cobb get suspended for that.
-
ouch. why would the team suspend him though? pretty much flushing the season down the drain cuz there suspending him. ???
-
^^dude with his injury he is missing the first 30 games anyway, this suspension has nothing to with that because he is out that long with the injury anyways, this suspension is all about Monta losing the guaranteed money for the games he will miss due to injury, Warriors did the right thing
-
Well on one hand this is gonna hurt because Monta is a great player, but seriously; tooling around on mopeds and lying about it when you have millions of dollars and thousands of fans hopes on the line is just childish.
-
^^again guys this isnt hurting anything related to basketball, with his current injury Monta is going tomiss 30 games anyway, this suspension is just so he doesnt get paid when he sits out injured lol
-
Nah you're right. It's just frustrating that he was out there doing dumb shit with all that on the line.
-
lmao...on nba.com there callin it a low speed mo-ped accident
