I don;t see this anywhere So I figured I would mention it.  If it's somewhere else please delete this.  Jared Sullinger has been suspended 1 game by the Celtics. 

axter Holmes ‏@BaxterHolmes 13m

Ainge: "We are suspending Jared for one game because he failed to meet the high expectations we have for all Celtics employees."

Full press release here: http://www.nba.com/celtics/news/press_release/celtics-suspend-sullinger-one-game.

It's apparently related to the domestic violence incident.

This is the right move.  And I am sure it came with a meeting in Wyc's office that included the words "this is your one last chance...don't mess it up."

I don't think this hurts our chances to win this game at all.

much ado about nothing.  it's a 1-game suspension to serve as a wake-up call.

He's lucky it's just 1.  I would've given him at least 5 games, plus maybe about 10 paychecks, all going to Boston's "Reach" program (Domestic Violence Shelter, organization)

Seriously. The fact that this is treated as less of an issue than the guys who fail drug tests is, at best, a little messed up.

Mitigated, of course, by the fact that the charges were dropped, and innocent until proven guilty and all that.

Good luck getting that by the union.

Proportionality and precedent is something you have to consider when it comes to workplace discipline.

Why is it messed up?

One is a workplace issue, compliance with the drug policy and integrity of competition.

Another is a personal life issue that doesn't impinge the game itself, merely Sullinger's character given that the charges have been dismissed.

Punishing employees for issues in their personal life is something that's fraught with peril for an employer.
