Marbury Suspended
The New York Knicks have fined and suspended Stephon Marbury for one game and have told him to stay away from the team until Monday.
Marbury has refused to play for the Knicks during the 2008-09 season but has shown at home games and traveled with the team.
He is the highest paid bench warmer currently under contract in the NBA.
The fine and suspension is allegedly for refusing to play against the Detroit Pistons this past Wednesday night.
He has been fined two games’ worth of pay, totaling $400,000.
Marbury was not allowed to practice with the team on Friday and his status with the team will be re-evaluated on Monday upon his return.
He might be released by the Knicks, with a buyout of his contract, or the team could pursue a trade.
