Amar’e Stoudemire leads the Phoenix Suns into Izod Center to face the Nets, who avoided a share of the worst record in history when they won their 10th game Monday against San Antonio. Stoudemire could become a free agent this summer and is one of the few marquee players who seemed interested in the Nets.
"There are some teams you may say, ‘No way,’ " Stoudemire told reporters in January. "I don’t think the Nets are one of them.
"I think that’s a team with potential. They can definitely contend in the near future [with] the right pieces."
ATLANTA (AP)—Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson says Slovenian backup guard Sasha Vujacic(notes) hasn’t played the last two games because of “a little run-in” with the coaching staff.
Jackson says the incident happened during last Friday’s game at Oklahoma City. He says Vujacic didn’t play at all in the next two contests at Houston and New Orleans because he “hasn’t atoned himself for that error.”
Jackson refused on Friday to give any more details about the incident. Vujacic says he doesn’t know what his coach is talking about.
The Lakers are wrapping up a five-game road trip at Atlanta.
