Former Louisville guard Chris Jones has been suspended for the rest of the season in the National Basketball League (NBL) of Canada following an altercation with the opposing team’s head coach.
According to multiple reports, Jones had an altercation with Sudbury’s head coach after their season opener last week.
Jones was suspended six games last season for throwing a water bottle on the court and spitting at an official after receiving two technical fouls.
According to one report:
NBL Commissioner Audley Stephenson said after their game with the Sudbury Five on Jan. 19, Jones went around a barrier between the two dressing rooms and had an altercation with coach Logan Stutz, which involved Jones putting his hands on Stutz.
Jones was also suspended a year ago as a result of an on-court incident.
Jones was given a second chance by the Lightning after throwing a water bottle and spitting at an official last season.
