    Nuggets guard J.R. Smith has been suspended by the organization for the first three games of the regular season for conduct detrimental to the team.</p>

    According to Denver County Court records, Smith has been issued a summons to appear in court to answer to allegations of destruction of private property, disturbing the peace and assault in an incident at DC-10 lounge at 940 Lincoln on Oct. 13.</p>

    The case was filed Wednesday. Police received calls at 1:40 a.m. on Oct. 13.</p>

    "There was a disturbance and a fight and a call for an ambulance," said Lt. Ron Saunier, spokesman for the Denver Police Department.</p>

    Saunier said the decision was made to issue Smith a summons rather than arrest him.</p>

    Smith will miss games against Seattle, Minnesota and New Orleans.</p>

    In a statement released by the team, Smith apologized.</p>

    "I take full responsibility for my actions that led to this suspension," Smith said. "I realize that the organization wants to help me become not only a better player but also the best person I can off the court. I apologize to my teammates, the coaching staff, my family and Nuggets fans. I promise to learn from this situation and look forward to returning shortly and being the best teammate I possibly can."</p>
