Ft Wayne Pistons forward Jack Molinas, once famed as a top rookie contender, is suspended indefinitely by the NBA for gambling on games. The 21 year old, formerly of Columbia University, may be expelled at season end after a possible hearing. He protested his innocence while offering to play without pay to redeem himself. An alleged bookmaker was questioned, and bets on Fort Wayne games reportedly stopped after a December matchup with Boston.
