I didn’t even know it was possible to be suspended from a Pro-Am League, but I guess it is.
Matt Barnes was working on his goon skills during a game by punching an opposing player in the face for talking too much trash to him. I will say this about Barnes he didn’t make any excuses he owned up to the incident.
I thought he was going to say his twitter got hacked or blame Braylon Edwards. But for his honesty he has to sit a game.
Not sure I’ve ever seen a guy get suspended for a game from a pro-am league before. Then again, I’ve never seen a player punch an opposing player in a pro-am game before. Well, Barnes said it was more pushing than punch later, but still.
Barnes did it and he has been suspended for it, reports ESPNLosAngeles.
Barnes I assume is going to be on Basketball Wives: LA, so he should know the proper protocol is to throw a drink at the player not punch him.
