02/09/2007 -

WASHINGTON (AP) -The Washington Wizards suspended center Etan Thomas for two games Friday because of conduct detrimental to the team.

Thomas will games Sunday against Portland and Wednesday at Philadelphia. He will not practice with the team during the suspension.

``This is a team matter which has been handled internally,'' president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld said. ``Etan will miss the next two games and return after the All-Star break. We will have no further comment on this issue.''

Thomas began the season as the starting center, but he sprained his ankle in early December and lost the job to Brendan Haywood. Thomas missed 13 games with the injury before returning in a backup role.

Thomas and Haywood had a physical altercation in the locker room early in the season, but neither player was publicly disciplined by the team.

Thomas is averaging 6.0 points and 5.6 rebounds.
