Eddie Griffen..?

Somebody fill me in on what's happening with Eddie Griffen? I've been hearing things like, he's gone nutty and left the league for a year and stuff... kinda find it hard to believe but what's his story?

Somebody got an article or something? Thanks.

Oh no...my Rockets have lost their Power Forwards! Maurice Taylor is out too because of Marijuwana charges! Suspended for 10 games and fined! ...

I heard Eddie went syco and is going mental...he was on drugs...i think i heard!

He no-showed at various points during training camp and the pre-season, and has been suspended indefinitely.

So he will be back this season? his career is not over?

His career isn't over, but I think he needs to clean up his act.

Houston police are investigating a 21-year-old woman's allegations that Griffin struck her in the face and shot at her early Saturday at his southwest side home. No charges have been filed.

Griffin reportedly assaulted his girlfriend and shot at her at his southwest Houston home early Saturday.

With the suspended forward missing from practices for more than two weeks and facing a police investigation while seeking treatment for "emotional problems," the Rockets passed on their option to extend Griffin's contract to a fourth season, the Houston Chronicle reports.

What is the world coming down to?

Big screwup by Griffen, he could have been good this season, oh well time will tell what happens. Shame on the league :roll:

NBA.com takes out a name on the roster when that person is suspended.

This is a shame...kid looked like he'd be an all-star eventually.

Shame on the league?

What?

NBA.com takes out a name on the roster when that person is suspended

I checked the rosters opening day to see if Chris Webber and Jason Richardson were listed were their teams and they were listed.

I believe Eddie Griffin will be released from Houston.

As for Maurice Taylor I think it's the same as Griffin, I believe it's up to the team's pr people to remove these names from rosters.

this is unfortunete to happen,
i too thought that this could have been his breakout year...
hopefully he can get his life in order and get everything back on track

Eddie Griffin was my favorite PF in NBA Live 2004....whenever i was the rockets :lol:

IT used to be "THE SWAT TEAM" With Yao and Griffin :lol:

I checked the rosters opening day to see if Chris Webber and Jason Richardson were listed were their teams and they were listed.

Probably cause they were not suspended indefinitely like Griffin. Last year nba.com took out of the roster Kemp when by mistake he was suspended indefinitely by his team.

I wasn't aware C-Webb was suspended. I thought he was still recovering from knee surgery?

Maurice Taylor is not suspended indefinitely, he's suspended for 10 games.

Andrew,
Webber was suspended for 3 games for pleading guilty to a charge of lying to a Michigan Grand Jury.

Of course, I'm sure I read that at some point - it obviously slipped my mind. :doh:

Thanks for clearing that up.
