Warriors suspend unhappy Jackson

The Golden State Warriors suspended Stephen Jackson for two exhibition games Saturday after the unhappy captain left the bench during an exhibition contest in Los Angeles.

The veteran swingman picked up five fouls and a technical in less than 10 minutes Friday night while playing against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Forum. After an apparently testy exchange with coach Don Nelson when Jackson's frustration was evident on the bench, Jackson went to the locker room and never returned.

It wasn't immediately clear whether Jackson was sent to the locker room or went on his own. The Warriors only said Jackson was suspended for "conduct detrimental to the team."

Jackson has made it known he wants to get away from the Warriors, unhappy with the franchise's decline after its 2007 playoff run -- and he's getting increasingly insistent about it. He was fined $25,000 by the NBA last month for publicly acknowledging he would welcome a trade and hasn't backed down from the stance in recent interviews.

Jackson will miss Saturday night's game against Phoenix in Indian Wells and Monday's game at Staples Center against the Clippers. Jackson didn't even make the trip to the high desert for the Warriors' outdoor game against the Suns.
