Lazers Suspend Usiyan, Reportedly for Fighting

The Lazers have suspended forward Thompson Usiyan for 10 days, according to Jim Buss, team president.

Reason for the suspension was not announced, but a source close to the team said it was because Usiyan had fought with a teammate after the Lazers’ 7-3 loss to the Chicago Sting Saturday at the Forum.

Usiyan will miss the team’s next two road games against the Cleveland Force and Baltimore Blast.
