Zadar suspends ex NBAer Desmon Farmer

Defending Croatian champion suspended Desmon Farmer (195-G-81, college: USC) yesterday. The American guard didn't show up on yesterday's practice and meeting before the game against Sibenka. According to the rumors, the reason of Farmer's decision not to show up is lack of payment.

'Desmon Farmer is suspended, but the final decision will be announced on Wednesday. It will most probably be contract termnation', said Branko Ljubicic, Zadar's PR Manager.
