Kwame Brown denies the Washington Wizards suspended him in last season’s playoffs against the Bulls because he was ill, as the team had said. Brown said he was suspended for skipping practice the day after Game 3 because he was so angry at teammate Gilbert Arenas that he feared he would have attacked him. Brown, now a Laker, said Arenas told coach Eddie Jordan not to put Brown into Game 3, and Jordan complied. “I was going to slap the [expletive] out of him,” Brown said. “What I did was wrong, but I ain’t saying what I would’ve done if I showed up would’ve been right. How a teammate, a supposed friend, would [tell] a coach don’t put me in a game, I would’ve done something seriously wrong to him.”
