This is just an odd story and hilarious at the same time.
On Wednesday, the Golden State Warriors announced a one-game suspension for Jordan Bell for conduct detrimental to the team. There were no details released at the time as to what it pertained to, but it wouldn’t be long before it eventually got out to the public.
Per 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, which Bell served during the Warriors’ 118-103 victory over the Grizzlies on Wednesday night, the reasoning announced officially as “conduct detrimental to the team.”
Brown was alerted to the charge. He inquired about it. The staff at The Peabody hotel, where the team stayed, confirmed its purchase. So the Warriors launched a quick investigation and it became clear that Bell is the one who put it on Brown’s bill. There was concern, sources say, that this wasn’t the first time Bell has pulled this maneuver on some unknowing member of the organization.”
This entire thing is just weird, seeing as how Bell is a millionaire and can afford anything he needs provided by a hotel. Maybe it was a prank, or just maybe he didn’t want the team finding out he was possibly paying for porn and charged it to someone else to throw them off.
Either way, he got caught and he is sure to never try that again.
