Hawks sit Stoudamire for two games

 
02.24.2006

Atlanta, GA (Basketball News) - The Atlanta Hawks have suspended rookie guard Salim Stoudamire for two games without pay for conduct detrimental to the team.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported that Stoudamire will miss Friday night’s game at Indiana and also Saturday night’s contest with Milwaukee.

According to the report, head coach Mike Woodson was asked if Stoudamire’s suspension had anything to do with his demeanor when he is substituted out of games and Woodson said that it did.

"There’s a standard of behavior in the locker room, on the floor and everywhere else that I think you have to uphold as a good teammate that just isn’t there," Woodson told the paper. "I’m not going to tolerate it. Not from Salim or anyone else on this team."

This is the second time the former Arizona Wildcat has been benched this season. He was also held out of a January 13th game against New York.
