"Glen Davis will be sidelined six to eight weeks due to his broken thumb -- a thumb he broke while fighting with a friend in a car. And as we noted yesterday, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck is not happy about the incident, and is thinking of suspending Davis. But according to Yahoo! Sports, Grousbeck is also looking for money from Davis.
"Wyc has been on the warpath for two days over this," a league source told Yahoo! Sports. "They want to get money back from him."
This same source also told Yahoo! that the team has been hurting financially, and Grousbeck getting back some of Davis' salary will soften the blow (ESPN)."
Got a bunch of problems with this story. First, they shouldn't go after his money. From everything I have read it sounds like Davis made a poor choice in friends, the guy got out of control and Davis broke his hand. It sucks, and they should suspend him a message, but this is really the first time he has been in trouble, so cut the guy a little slack. Second, how the fuck could the Celtics be "hurting financially"? They have been selling more tickets since the "Big Three" showed up, and team gear is all over the city. I don't understand it. I also read that even if they did go after some money it would go directly to charity, so at best they would get a tax write off.
