Newz Forum: BASKETBALL: Francis suspended indefinitely

I wonder why he did this? Friggin idiot!


ESPN

Orlando Magic guard Steve Francis was suspended indefinitely by the NBA on Saturday for kicking a courtside photographer in the fourth quarter of the Magic's loss in Seattle on Friday night.

The NBA will investigate further before determining the length of the suspension. Former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman was suspended for 11 games and fined $25,000 for kicking a courtside cameraman on Jan. 17, 1997.

its a typicall move by NBA players. You hardly ever see these kindofs performences done by other sports leagues, such as NFL, MLB, NHL. Its only NBA, not enough control out of these rappers with attitudes.

Apparently he has been really miserable in Orlando since they traded his best friend, Cuttino Mobley. It has showed in his play too. He's got to realize that it's part of the business and move on.

Orlando guard Steve Francis was suspended three games Monday by the NBA for kicking a courtside photographer last week.

The NBA initially suspended Francis indefinitely after he kicked a photographer in the fourth quarter of the Magic's loss in Seattle on March 18. After an investigation, the league settled on the three-game suspension.

Francis began his suspension at Portland on Saturday and will sit out Orlando's next two games, both against the Bobcats.
