| Melo suspended first two games
ESPN - Anthony suspended first two games of 08-09 season after DUI - NBA Quote:
The Denver Nuggets have suspended forward Carmelo Anthony for the first two games of the 2008-09 season following his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, the team said on Monday.
The suspension came the same day Anthony was named in the 12-member U.S. basketball team for the Beijing Olympic Games.
Anthony was arrested on April 14 and is scheduled to appear in court in Denver on Tuesday.
"We take drinking and driving very seriously," Nuggets vice president Mark Warkentien said in a statement. "Carmelo admits he made a serious lapse in judgment and has expressed his sincere remorse numerous times."
Warkentien said the Nuggets would continue to support Carmelo and would handle the matter internally.
