Toronto point guard Rafer Alston has been handed a two-game suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team."

Toronto officials were quiet about the incident that is speculated to have occurred during a practice today.

"There's rules and certain things that we have to follow and a certain code of conduct and professionalism that we're not going to expect but demand," said head coach Sam Mitchell, who added that Alston needed better control of his temper. "It would be helpful for him as far as furthering his career and being the player he has the talent to be.

"His passion is a strength but sometimes it can be a weakness. You have to learn to control your emotions."
Alston is averaging 14 points and 7.1 assists per contest for the Raptors this season.
