Sports betting online odds could be adjusted the next couple of games on the Minnesota Timberwolves. They will be without their leading scorer, forward Al Jefferson as he was suspended for two games after being arrested for drunk driving on Sunday. Jefferson is averaging over 17 points per game this sportsbetting season and Minnesota will miss his presence.
Sports betting online had Jefferson being arrested early Sunday on Interstate 394 outside of Minneapolis. It was just a few hours after the Timberwolves were blown out in sports betting online action at home against Portland. Jefferson had 19 points in the loss. I made a very poor decision and I am truly sorry for that, Jefferson said. The Timberwolves took immediate action and team president David Kahn announced that Jefferson would not play in Minnesota’s game at Dallas on Wednesday or in the home game on Saturday against Houston.
The suspension will cost Jefferson almost $300,000 since he is earning about $12 million this sports betting online NBA season. We are disappointed that Al used poor judgment last night. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, Kahn said in a statement. Having spoken to Al, I can assure everybody associated with our franchise that Al understands this is a matter of utmost seriousness. He feels terrible about what occurred, and I believe him when he says he will learn from his mistake.
Jefferson was very apologetic and accepted the suspension. As a leader on this team, I know that more is expected of me, and I am disappointed in myself, said Jefferson, I fully understand and support the organization’s disciplinary action. Sportsbetting indicated that Minnesota took immediate action unlike some other NBA teams who have not been as forceful in dealing with drunk driving arrests.
Jefferson leads the Timberwolves in scoring as sportsbetting stats have it and has been their leader in each of the last three years since coming from Boston. He has averaged 20.4 points per game in his career as sports betting online numbers indicate. Sports betting online had Minnesota with Jefferson through 2013 on a five-year contract with Jefferson making about $12 million per year.
Minnesota has struggled again this sports betting online season but they do have some young talent and they are capable of being competitive. It might be more difficult in the next couple of sportsbetting contests without their leading scorer.
