NEW YORK -- Atlanta Hawks forward Glenn Robinson was suspended for three games without pay by the NBA on Thursday after being convicted of assault and domestic battery.

The suspension will begin with Atlanta's first game of the 2003-04 season.

Robinson was found guilty in May of domestic battery and assault for an altercation with Jonta French, his ex-fiancee, in her Chicago Heights home. Prosecutors said Robinson pushed and threatened French last year.

Robinson was sentenced to one year of probation and ordered to undergo anger management counseling. He also must complete five days of service in a work program run by the Cook County Sheriff's office.
