The Grizzlies have suspended Stromile Swift for one game for conduct detrimental to the team. Swift and head coach Marc Iavaroni exchanged words on the bench during the Grizzlies’ loss Monday to the Dallas Mavericks.

Swift stood, leaning over Iavaroni, apparently trying to make his point during the disagreement. Assistant coach Johnny Davis eventually intervened before Swift strolled to the end of the bench. Swift will miss the Grizzlies’ game Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets.

Albeit a player who never fully reached his potential, Swift has never been a knucklehead. So this is clearly a surprise turn of events in what has been a disappointing season for the Griz.

ROSTER MOVE: The Grizzlies will allow Bobby Jones’ second 10-day contract to expire today. He will not be signed for the rest of this season. Jones appeared in nine games for the Griz. He averaged 4.4 points on 39-percent shooting. If the Griz sign another player soon, he likely will be a point guard given Mike Conley’s injury and Damon Stoudamire’s departure via a buyout.
