Sonics’ Fortson suspended for two games

Fortson was ejected with 7:09 remaining in the fourth quarter after he picked up two quick technical fouls. Fortson was upset over some physical play by the Kings’ Chris Webber and argued with the referees.

After being tossed, he did not leave the court in a timely manner and verbally abused the officials. To make matters worse, he threw a chair, which teammate Jerome James fortunately grabbed as it was headed toward the crowd.

Fortson, who is averaging 8.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per contest this season, will sit out Friday’s game at Phoenix and Sunday’s home contest versus Dallas.
