    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Devean George's day was no easier than the rest of his year has been.

    He was activated Thursday after spending the season on the injured list and flew out from Los Angeles to join the Lakers for their game against the Denver Nuggets.It could have been a day to remember for the Laker forward, whose return from off-season ankle surgery was delayed nearly four months because of a series of complications, but he arrived at the hotel and was told there were no rooms available.

    He called a Laker official and figured out the problem. He was at the wrong hotel. The Lakers didn't stay at the same place they did last year.

    George didn't have time to go to the correct hotel. He arrived on time for the game and had eight points in 16 minutes.

    "A little rusty, but I felt all right," he said. "Just getting my wind, that's about it."

    George took the roster spot of Brian Cook, who was put on the injured list after sustaining a sprained right hand at practice Wednesday. Cook was injured when Caron Butler tried to strip him of the ball. X-rays were negative, but Cook could be sidelined two weeks.</div> Source

    Yeah, I saw the interview with him before the game. Pretty fun when it was said and done. But he played well for his first game back. His first shot was a 3. I was happy to see him back. I hope he can play the entire season next year. I think he's one of the good guys.

    I was happy to see him back too, I never thought I would say that about George. He had a good game, rusty, but good.

    That gave me a good laugh though, he went to the wrong hotel find...[​IMG]

    Doesn't surprise George got lost, he's lost 90% of the time on the court as well. Devean "Lost" George, that's his new nickname.
