Kings’ Slava Voynov Suspended After Being Arrested On Domestic Violence Charges
The league handed Voynov the indefinite suspension under Section 18-A.5 of the collective bargaining agreement which allows the league to act swiftly even before the facts of the case are known.
The section reads: “The league may suspend the player pending the league’s formal review and disposition of the matter where the failure to suspend the player during this period would create a substantial risk of material harm to the legitimate interests and/or reputation of the league.”
According to Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston, Voynov will continue to be paid during the suspension.
Details of Voynov’s arrest and charges are still unknown at this point.
