Jeffery Taylor will not be appealing his 24-game suspension.

Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Charlotte Hornets forward will not fight the ban handed down to him by NBA commissioner Adam Silver for pleading guilty in October to misdemeanor domestic violence assault and malicious destruction of hotel property. 

On Thursday, NBAPA head Michele Roberts said that the union was prepared to file an appeal if Taylor chose to move forward with one. Roberts contended that the suspension went above and beyond the discipline that could be meted out by the current CBA.

"The CBA contemplates a minimum 10-game suspension in any case involving a conviction for a violent felony, including domestic violence. In contrast, Jeff Taylor was charged with a misdemeanor that is likely to be dismissed at the end of a probationary period," Roberts said in a statement.

Because Taylor has already missed the Hornets' first 11 games, he'll be given credit for time already served and miss the next 13.

"This suspension is necessary to protect the interests of the NBA and the public's confidence in it," Silver said in a statement on Wednesday. "Mr. Taylor's conduct violates applicable law and, in my opinion, does not conform to standards of morality and is prejudicial and detrimental to the NBA. While the suspension is significantly longer than prior suspensions for incidents of domestic violence by NBA players, it is appropriate in light of Mr. Taylor's conduct, the need to deter similar conduct going forward, and the evolving social consensus -- with which we fully concur -- that professional sports leagues like the NBA must respond to such incidents in a more rigorous way."

Taylor will also not be paid during his suspension, meaning that the 25-year-old will foreit close to $200,000 of his $915,000 salary this season.

With the suspension, Taylor will be eligible to return on December 17 when the Hornets host the Phoenix Suns.
