He’s not officially suspended, but Suns forward Marquese Chriss will sit out Sunday’s game for a “cooling off” period, writes Scott Bordow of The Arizona Republic.
Chriss had a verbal altercation with strength and conditioning coach Jeff Fish after Friday’s loss to the Jazz, according to ESPN. Neither head coach Jay Triano or GM Ryan McDonough would discuss the incident, but McDonough called it a “rules violation.” He also refused to answer questions about a possible fine for Chriss, saying, “We’re handling all of that internally.”
Chriss played just 13 minutes Friday night, posting three points and three rebounds. He is averaging 7.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game and has been a fixture in the starting rotation since Triano replaced Earl Watson in October.
“He’s a good kid who had a bad moment,” McDonough said. “We look forward to seeing him Monday morning and turning the page.”
Good for Chriss, sometimes when he plays he seems to lack emotion. He is a very smart person and I believe he’ll use this to take it to the next level.
I picked up on your sarcasm there. How did you type this without milk coming out your nose?
Assuming the commenter above was drinking milk while typing is as wild a guess as I’ve seen is quite some time
