(Dallas-AP) -- Dennis Rodman has been suspended for a game and fined ten-thousand dollars one day after being ejected from a game and later saying he wanted to duke it out with N-B-A commissioner David Stern.
N-B-A spokesman Chris Brienza says Rodman's comments abou twanting to box with the commissioner had nothing to do with the punishment. Instead, the punishment for the former Southeastern Oklahoma star is for failing to leave the court in a timely manner after he was ejected in the fourth quarter in last night's home game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brienza says it's also for verbally abusing game officials.
