<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>AP - 03/23 - 6:12 PM ESTThe Toronto Raptors waived Antonio Davis on Thursday, effectively ending a season in which the center was suspended for five games for climbing into the stands after his wife got into a confrontation with a fan in Chicago. Davis missed the past 12 games after injuring his back in the third quarter of a game against Miami on Feb. 27. He appeared in eight games with Toronto averaging 4.4 points and 4.5 rebounds in 23.9 minutes. "After receiving a second opinion on Antonio's lingering back problems, it is very unlikely that he would return to competitive action this season with the Raptors," said Bryan Colangelo, the team's president and general manager. "After lengthy discussions with Antonio regarding his physical condition and his general sense of disappointment over his personally difficult year, we have concluded that it's in the best interest of both the organization and Antonio Davis to simply release him at this late point of the season."</div>Wow. I liked Antonio but it looks like he couldn't come back with his back. Oh well, atleast we gopt Jalen Rose out. Now we have some cap room for the off-season. Colangelo will get us a Center.This looks like Antonio's last stop before retirement. Good luck in your life ahead of you Antonio.
They'd have to trade for one. The only Center i can think of that's a FA is Joel Pryzbilla, and i think he plans on re-signing.
Its too bad that Antonio couldnt contribute much to the team this year, hopefully we can pick up Nazir, or Nene in the offseason.
