Hawks suspend Smith two games for outburst

? Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith was suspended by the team for two games Monday, one day after an expletive-filled tirade at coach Mike Woodson late in a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Smith’s suspension was announced by general manager Billy Knight in a release. Knight said Smith was suspended for the next two games “for conduct detrimental to the team.”

Smith cursed at Woodson on the bench late in regulation and early in overtime before Woodson finally sent the third-year player to the locker room.
