The Denver Post is reporting that Brian Dyke, the agent for suspended forward Kenyon Martin, is unhappy with the treatment against his client by the Nuggets.
Dyke said Friday the team hasn't been totally forthcoming about the severity of his client's knee injury, and while he was deserving of his punishment, it's time for Martin to be playing again.
"The point is there is definitely two sides to the story," Dyke said. "I don't think an indefinite suspension is fair, and what Kenyon has been going through with his knee hasn't been fully talked about by the Nuggets."
Martin was suspended last Tuesday for conduct detrimental to the team. Dyke said the suspension is expected to last through the Nuggets' first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Martin was suspended after his tirade at halftime of the Nuggets' Game 2 road loss, in which he said he told coach George Karl he didn't want to play in the second half. Although Martin apologized in a statement Wednesday, his return is in limbo.
Dyke said a grievance will be filed with the National Basketball Players Association on Martin's behalf.
"I like Coach, but I don't agree with him," said Dyke. "He had to suspend him, but I don't agree with the whole first round."
