Sacramento Kings guard Darren Collison will be suspended without pay for the first eight games of the 2016-17 NBA regular season after his recent guilty plea on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery.Collison will be allowed to participate in Kings exhibition games and practices but will miss Sacramentos opening eight games after he received three years of informal probation and a 20-day jail sentence for a May incident involving his wife at their home in the Sacramento suburb of Granite Bay, California.The suspension will cost Collison a total of $380,324 in lost salary.In a statement, the league said it conducted its own investigation of Collison and consulted with a panel of experts to determine the veteran guards punishment.Based on this investigation, consultation, and a careful weighing of all the facts and circumstances, the NBA determined that an eight-game suspension was appropriate, the league said in its statement Sunday. Among other factors, the NBA took into account the conduct and its result, the players acceptance of responsibility, his cooperation with both law enforcement and the NBA, and his voluntary participation in counseling in addition to the court-mandated program.The Kings have known for some time that they would have to start the season without Collison, which prompted them to sign Ty Lawson and bring fellow veteran point guard Jordan Farmar to training camp.Domestic violence is a serious issue and directly contradicts the values of the Sacramento Kings, the team said Sunday in a statement. Darren has taken responsibility for his actions and will work to raise awareness of this critical issue in the community. We support the NBAs decision on this matter.Collison will be eligible to play for the first time this season on Nov. 8, when Sacramento plays host to New Orleans. Arizona Diamondbacks Pro Shop .

Q: Team Canada announces their Olympic roster three weeks from today. Who is general manager Steve Yzerman watching? LeBrun: Over the last 48 hours, hes taken in the home-and-home between the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche with Jamie Benn and Matt Duchene being the obvious targets. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- If a quarterback wants to keep Denvers devastating pass rush at bay, it seems his only option is to hand the ball off to his running back.Andy Dalton stayed upright while throwing just eight times in the first half Sunday, but once the Broncos adjusted to stuff the run, he was forced to drop back.Thats when Von Miller picked up his NFL-best fifth sack and Shane Ray became the first player in 14 years to collect three sacks in his first NFL start as the Broncos (3-0) beat the Bengals 29-17 .I think it was obvious that they were trying to keep Von off of their quarterback, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said. ... But we hung in there. They key was us coming back in the second half and stopping the run. If we dont stop it, were probably in for a long day.The Broncos dropped a safety into the box and inched their linebackers closer to the line of scrimmage after getting gashed for 75 yards in the first quarter, including Jeremy Hills 50-yard run on Cincinnatis opening drive. Cincinnati managed only 68 yards rushing in the last three quarters.Eventually, we got them in a position where we could start rushing and we were able to capitalize on it, Ray said.The Broncos (3-0) will surely work on their run defense this week as they prepare to travel to Tampa Bay (1-2) to face QB Jameis Winston next weekend.A teams No. 1 option with us is that they want to come in and run the ball. They feel like if they can beat us with the run, then they can save their quarterbacks, Ray said. But we make good adjustments and corrections.Kubiak isnt just concerned about Denvers trouble with whats known as the C gap, the lane between the tackle and the tight end, but with quarterbacks breaking free on third down.Weve been giving up some quartterback movement, Kubiak said.ddddddddddddLike Andrew Lucks 21-yard scramble on third-and-20 two weeks ago.Its being more gap disciplined on third down, Ray said. Teams know that were playing man coverage so quarterbacks start trying to get out of the pocket. When they see that lane, they take off running. We see that, we know whats going on, were just going to go to the film room and see what we can do to counter that and well get back to doing what we do.Safety T.J. Ward said the Broncos will have their run defense and QB corralling issues settled by Sunday.Its hard to find a crack this defense, Ward said. You can try to do something from last week that a team had a little success on, but were probably going to fix that and be ready for it the next week. You have to come up with something creative. Thats hard because even if you have a scheme, you still have to beat us one-on-one. You have to block Von, you have to get open on Chris (Harris Jr.) and Aqib (Talib). You have to get open on me. You have to stop the blitz and you have to protect.Fixing the flaws are a matter of pride, Ward said.We were at Vons house last night after the game reviewing the tape -- me, Talib, Von and K-Web (Kayvon Webster), Ward said. Before we even get in the meeting room, for them to tell us where we made mistakes, we already know. Thats the next level if you want to be great. Everyone has to be great, not only here, but on their own time.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
