just like Ron Artest, its a 7-game suspension. but it is not related to that infamous basketbrawl in Detroit three years ago. he was given a suspension by the league due to his last June's guilty verdict to a felony count of criminal recklessness for firing a gun outside an Indiana strip club last fall, when he was still with the Pacers. He was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service.
The NBA's collective bargaining agreement calls for a minimum 10-game suspension when a player is convicted of or pleads no contest to a violent felony. While the league felt these crimes fell short of that, it came down hard on Jackson, who is already used to hearing from the league office.
expect Stephen Jackson to play his first game of the season on Nov 18.
