The 2013-2014 NBA season has yet to
start and the newly signed coach of the Brooklyn Nets, Jason Kidd has already
been suspended for 2 games.
Kidd, 40, pleaded guilty to a
misdemeanor of driving while ability impaired in July and placed on probation for a year after he smashed his
SUV into a utility pole in Southampton, New York in July of 2012.
The league requires suspension for two
games, also his probation includes community service, and speaking to students in Long Island about the risks and
dangers of drinking and driving.
Kidd will miss the team’s season opener
on October 30 in Cleveland against the Cavilers along with their home-opener on November 1 against the
Miami Heat. He will make his coaching debut November 3 in Orlando.
Lead assistant coach Lawrence Frank will likely serve as the
head coach of the team until Kidd's suspension ends.
