London Lightning's Royce White Suspended

London Lightning forward Royce White will miss the remainder of the season.

The National Basketball League of Canada has fined and suspended White for 11 games following Thursday's Game 5 match against the St. John's Edge in the Central Division Final.

The league says the suspension stems from an "accumulation of technical fouls" and "conduct detrimental to the league for his actions in Game 5".

White was the lead scorer of Thursday night's game with a game-high 37 points and nine assists.

The Lightning currently lead the Edge 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

The Lightning will continue on without White to face the Edge in Game 6 on Sunday at 2pm.
