The Minnesota Timberwolves have suspended center Michael Olowonkandi for a second game, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting.
"Michael will not play in tonight's game against Memphis as he will be suspended for a second and final game due to conduct that was detrimental to the team," vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale said in a statement released before Friday's game. "He will rejoin the Timberwolves and be available to play on the team's upcoming West Coast road trip that begins Sunday in Sacramento. We are hopeful that Michael can put this incident behind him and look forward to him helping us on the court for the remainder of the season."
Olowokandi was arrested by Indianapolis police at 3 a.m. Thanksgiving morning after refusing to leave a downtown nightclub. The police used a stun gun on Olowokandi twice before taking him into custody. He was released that afternoon, but was suspended for the Wolves' loss to the Pacers that night.
