Forward to sit out five games

Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Washington Wizards forward Christian Laettner was suspended for 
five games Tuesday for violating the NBA's drug policy.
 
The suspension, without pay, began with Tuesday night's home game against 
Houston.
Spokesman Tim Frank said the league would not comment on when the violation 
occurred or what substance was involved.
The 6-foot-11 Laettner was drafted out of Duke in 1992, selected by the 
Timberwolves with the third overall pick in the draft.
He is averaging 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds for the Wizards (10-25), who are 
sixth in the seven-team Atlantic Division.
He also played for Minnesota, Atlanta, Detroit and Dallas.
