<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PHILADELPHIA - Jan. 10 was a good day for Rick Brunson. Once he was still a Los Angeles Clipper on that day, Brunson knew that his $932,000 non-guaranteed contract had become guaranteed for the rest of the season. When you've had nine NBA stints with six teams, in addition to playing for two CBA teams and spending one season in Australia, as Brunson has done after his four years at Temple, it's easy to understand why that is an important day. "In years past, I was concerned," Brunson said before contributing nine points and a game-high 11 assists in the Clippers' 106-104 loss to the Sixers on Sunday afternoon. "I didn't have an opportunity to play and sometimes owners make business decisions. "I have an opportunity to play and, hopefully, it will continue. It's nice to wake up, put on this jersey and know you're going to get out there and play."</div> Source
