DAY IN SPORTS: GRANT FALLS AFTER SENIOR STAR IS SUSPENDED.

Byline: Daily News

The Grant of Van Nuys boys' basketball team learned Friday night what life is like without Mike Danielian. The senior guard was suspended for disciplinary reasons and missed the Lancers' 69-60 Sunset Six League loss at Poly of Sun Valley.

``His conduct was detrimental to the team,`' Grant coach Howard Levine said. ``He did something serious.''

Levine would not comment specifically on the incident, but he said that Grant administrators would decide Tuesday whether further suspension is necessary.

The loss would be huge for Grant's basketball team. Danielian is among the top scorers in Southern California, averaging 30.5 points per game, and he's scored 40 or more points four times this season, including a 58-point effort Jan. 19 against Verdugo Hills of Tujunga.

``Losing him is a big concern at this point,'' Levine said. ``I felt what he did was worth a one-game suspension. Our school officials might not agree.''
