A day after being suspended two games by coach Jeff Van Gundy for missing Tuesday's preseason game in Sacramento, Eddie Griffin skipped Thursday's morning practice and was then suspended indefinitely.

"When I met with him last night, I told him, `You're suspended for two additional games,' " Van Gundy said. "We talked through it and had a good talk. He didn't show up again today, so we suspended him indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team. Hopefully, he'll get himself together and get back and rejoin us soon, because he is an integral part of what we're trying to do."
