Michigan is suspending Juwan Howard for the rest of the regular season, according to a release by the Big Ten. He will also be fined $40,000. The punishment comes at the heels of an altercation on Sunday with the Wisconsin basketball team, where Howard swung at Wisconsin assistant Joe Krabbenhoft. He’ll miss a total of five games.
The altercation ensued after Sunday’s game because Howard was upset with Wisconsin coach Greg Gard for calling a timeout in the game's final seconds with a large lead. During the handshake line, Howard can be seen poking Gard in the chest and Gard appeared to grab Howard by the shirt. An ugly scene followed where coaches and players had to be restrained.
During the altercation, Howard swung at Krabbenhoft and multiple players were involved in the physical altercation.
