Nuggets' Anthony suspended 2 games

The Denver Nuggets suspended NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony for the first two games of the next season as punishment for his April arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.

Nuggets vice president of basketball operations Mark Warkentien said in a written statement the team will continue to support Anthony as he "strives to live up to the high expectations" set by the Nuggets and by Anthony.

Anthony was arrested April 14 on Interstate 25. Police said Anthony was weaving and not dimming his lights when he was pulled over. He was driving alone at the time.

Police also said Anthony failed a series of sobriety tests.
