NBA TRANSACTIONS : Spurs Suspend Rodman for Season Opener Over Antics
The San Antonio Spurs, saying they will not tolerate Dennis Rodman’s outbursts, suspended the star forward without pay Tuesday, one day after he was ejected from his team’s final exhibition game.
“We’re just trying to get his attention as best we can,” Coach Bob Hill said.
Spur General Manager Gregg Popovich said team officials will decide soon on the length of the suspension. However, he will be suspended at least through Friday’s season opener against Golden State.
Rodman, 33, who led the league in rebounding last season with an average of 17.3 a game, earns a reported $2.4 million per year.
