Nuggets coach Karl suspended; team fined

Karl was reprimanded for attending several workouts at Marquette University on May 16-18 that involved a player ineligible for the June 28 draft.

He will serve his suspension during the first three games of the 2005-06 season.

"George made an innocent mistake but we take full responsibility for these actions," said Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe. "The Denver Nuggets fully respect league rules and regulations and we regret any inadvertent violation that occurred."
