| Jackson, Artest suspended following court pleas
Quote: Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson are in trouble with the NBA again. The central figures in the brawl at the Palace of Auburn Hills were each suspended without pay by the league on Saturday for the first seven games of next season because of their most recent legal problems.
And their history of headaches was likely the reason they were slapped with stronger penalties than other players who have been suspended in recent years for getting in trouble with the law.
"Both were serious offenses and each are repeat violators of NBA rules," spokesman Tim Frank said.
