Tip-Off Timer: 68-Game Suspension For Latrell Sprewell

by Matt SteinmetzFiled under: WarriorsTip-Off Timer counts down the days until the first game of the 2009-10 season. On Thursday, there are 68 days remaining.I remember noticing the abrasions on P.J. Carlesimo's neck as soon as I walked into the gym that day on Dec. 1, 1997. There was no way not to notice them."You cut yourself shaving?" I asked him. Carlesimo laughed uncomfortably but didn't offer a response. "Seriously," I said. "You use a dull razor? What happened there?""No comment," Carlesimo replied, which I thought was odd. Then again, it was the first moment I had an inkling something wasn't quite right that day. I didn't know it at the time, but less than an hour before Latrell Sprewell had assaulted Carlesimo and then came back and tried to do it again.Tip-Off Timer: 68-Game Suspension For Latrell Sprewell originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:00:00 EST .
