NBA suspends Telfair for 3 games

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Sebastian Telfair was suspended Tuesday for three games for a recent conviction.

Telfair, 23, was sentenced last month to three years probation after pleading guilty to criminal possession of a weapon.

Telfair was arrested at a traffic stop in Yonkers, N.Y., on April 20, 2007, when he played for the Boston Celtics.

Police found a loaded .45-calibre handgun under the front passenger seat of his car.

Telfair averaged 9.3 points, 5.9 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 32.2 minutes in 60 games (51 starts) with the Timberwolves last season, missing the final 21 games because of a sprained ankle.

He is eligible to return to the Timberwolves on Nov. 5.

Sam Cassell stays with Celtics

The Boston Celtics have re-signed guard Sam Cassell. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Cassell, a 6'3", 195 pound guard, is a veteran of 15 NBA seasons. Cassell won his third NBA title as a member of the Celtics last season after signing mid-season from the L.A. Clippers. Cassell averaged 7.6 points and 2.1 assists in 17 regular season games with the Celtics last season and finished the season with combined averages of 11.2 points and 3.9 assists per game. The 2003-04 All-Star scored 20 or more points 10 times last season including a season-high 35 points against the Indiana Pacers on November 7. He scored a high of 22 points with the Celtics against the Knicks on April 14.
