Report: Jordan Bell suspended for charging hotel purchase to Warriors assistant coach Mike Brown


The Warriors suspended Jordan Bell for win over the Grizzlies yesterday.

Why?

Anthony Slater and Sam Amick of The Athletic:

At​ some​ point on Tuesday​ night, Jordan Bell made​ a purchase at the​ Warriors’ team​ hotel here.​ The​ exact​​ item or items and amount of the bill is unclear. What isn’t, though, is who got unknowingly charged for it: assistant coach Mike Brown.

That, league sources say, was the reason for his team-issued one-game suspension

There was concern, sources say, that this wasn’t the first time Bell has pulled this maneuver on some unknowing member of the organization.

Was this a prank? A scam? A prank could be chalked up to immaturity and more easily forgiven. A scam could rip at the fabric of trust a team relies upon.

There’s obviously a huge difference in how quickly everyone will move on.

Another potential juicy question: What did Bell buy?

I like how it was Mike Brown he pulled this stunt on.

Apparently it was a $15 candle and done as a prank.

According to people with access, it is a common hazing ritual for the vets to put small charges for things on the rookie’s bill, and he’s been getting back at people for that (in a fun way, of a beef). He apparently also went after Brown, charging a candle (wa soreviously reported as porn), and Brown was not amused. Don’t know if there is something else underlying this, seems strange for a suspension.

This situation reads like it was a candle shaped like an angry phallus. There's not really a good reason as to why he was mad otherwise. Mike wanted to make sure rumors didn't start.
