The Phoenix Suns have suspended forward Markieff Morris two games for what was termed “conduct detrimental to the team.”
The suspension was announced on Thursday, one day after Morris, a former Kansas standout, threw a towel at coach Jeff Hornacek in the fourth quarter of a 104-96 home loss to the Denver Nuggets. Hornacek said after the game that Morris was upset about being taken out of the game.
Morris has played poorly through most of the season, losing his starting job several weeks ago. He has sat out several games due to coach’s decision.
