Warriors suspend injured G Ellis for 30 games
Basketball Betting Lines
10/11/2008 -
Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Golden State Warriors suspended recently
re-signed guard Monta Ellis for 30 games without pay on Saturday for violating
his player contract.
Ellis, who signed a six-year, $66 million contract in July, underwent
successful surgery on his left ankle after a moped accident just a month later
-- a procedure that will sideline the 22-year-old until mid-December.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, Ellis originally told team officials
he injured the ankle in a pickup basketball game before coming clean.
Paragraph 12 of the contract reads: "The Player agrees that he will not,
without the written consent of the Team, engage in any activity that a
reasonable person would recognize as involving or exposing the participant to
a substantial risk of bodily injury including, but not limited to...(iii)
driving or riding on a motorcycle or moped."
The Warriors' second-round pick in the 2005 draft will be available to return
to the team following the December 17 game at Indiana.
"The cooperation that we received from Jeff Fried [Ellis' representative]
enabled us to be very diligent in collecting all of the facts surrounding the
incident," Warrior president Robert Rowell said. "This 30-game suspension is a
result of that. From this point forward, it is the complete focus of everyone
involved to provide Monta with all the support he needs to have a successful
rehabilitation, and to get him back on the court as an integral part of this
team."
The up-and-coming versatile guard averaged a career-high 20.2 points, 5.0
rebounds and 3.9 assists in 81 games with Golden State last year, his third
with the club.
