Bucks' Fizer Suspended By NBA After Gun Charge

The NBA on Tuesday suspended Milwaukee Bucks forward Marcus Fizer for one game following a guilty plea on a gun charge that stemmed from the summer.

Fizer, who is on the injured list with a knee injury and out four to six weeks, will serve the suspension when he is healthy enough to play again.

The former Bull, Fizer pleaded guilty in August to carrying a loaded handgun in his automobile and was sentenced to probation for a year and fined $2,500.

This was not the first incident involving a gun for the Iowa State product. In October 2002, Fizer was also charged with a felony count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. According to authorities at the time of the incident, police recovered a gun from Fizer's vehicle during a highway traffic stop.

Fizer, who was drafted by Chicago in 2000, was signed by Milwaukee last Thursday after becoming a unrestricted free agent following his selection by the Charlotte Bobcats during the expansion draft.

In 232 career games, Fizer has averaged 10.5 points per game to go along with five boards per contest.
