NEW YORK - Stephon Marbury rejoined the New York Knicks in Los Angeles on Wednesday, one day after skipping a game at Phoenix.
It’s unclear whether the star guard will play against the Clippers.
Earlier Tuesday, the team fined Marbury more than $180,000 for missing the Suns game, the latest clash between the disgruntled point guard and coach Isiah Thomas. The Knicks sent Marbury a letter informing him of the fine, according to a person with knowledge of the penalty who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday. He requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss it. The Knicks would not confirm the fine.
According to the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement, players are docked 1/110th of their salaries for a missed game without a reasonable excuse. With Marbury scheduled to earn $20.1 million this season, that would be about $182,800. [SOURCE]
I'm not sure what the hell is going on here, but Isiah and Stephon need to kiss and make up. And I was just getting excited over their 2-1 record. Who knew 3 games later the Knicks would be dancing to Twilight Zone theme music.

I saw this on the news this morning.So no one knows why he missed the game ?
Carolina, they are keeping it rather hushed mouth. Stephon pretty much said it was a dispute between him and Isiah.
New York Knicks
Good defense by the New York Knicks drama boys, if only we could patch up the difference, this will be a New York good season. They are running, switching in defense, rebounding see those efforts. We don't have yet the Knicks team down.
