Warriors' Jordan Bell Suspended 1 Game for Conduct Detrimental to Team
The Golden State Warriors announced Wednesday that power forward Jordan Bell received a one-game suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team."
Bell will miss Wednesday night's road game against the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedEx Forum. No further details about the situation were immediately released.
The 24-year-old Los Angeles native has played a limited role throughout his second NBA season.
He's averaged 3.0 points and 2.7 rebounds while playing 11.4 minutes per game across 61 appearances (two starts). He scored four points in 11 minutes during a home victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night, the team's last game before the suspension was announced.
Last month, Bell told Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle he felt like he was "getting a rhythm back" despite his sporadic minutes and wasn't worried about being buried on the Dubs' depth chart.
"I don't care about stats," Bell said. "I just want to win."
Golden State's rotation will remain mostly unchanged Wednesday, with Andrew Bogut and Kevon Looney getting most of the reserve minutes in the frontcourt behind starters Draymond Green and DeMarcus Cousins. Jonas Jerebko could see a little extra run at the 4 against the Grizz.
Bell is eligible to return when the Warriors face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night at the Target Center.
