Marbury Inactive For Foreseeable Future

DynastYWarrioR6 · Oct 31, 2008

Stephon Marbury will be inactive for Friday's game between the Knicks and Sixers in Philadelphia and Mike D'Antoni says that Marbury will remain inactive for the foreseeable future.

"Either he has a big part of the pie or none and [Wednesday] night was none," Mike D'Antoni said. "And he felt it was tough just sitting there like that. So if we were going to go for that decision, then we decided that it would be probably better that he doesn’t dress. Otherwise, it's hard for him to sit there. I understood that."

"I’m not frusturated at all," Marbury said. "I have no control over it. If it was raining outside, I can't get mad if it’s raining. I’ve got to go get an umbrella and then walk in the rain. I have no control over the situation. The coach makes the decision on who plays and who’s not going to play and obviously, right now he feels like I’m not one of the guys that’s going to be playing."

Speaking about whether he felt he had played his last game in a Knick uniform, Marbury said, "I didn't go that far. I’m not there. I’m not in that place."

"I want to stress, he’s been great," D'Antoni said. "He did everything we asked, he came ready. So it’s really just two things collided and I just couldn’t make this fit. I want to be respectful to him and everything, he’s been in the league a long time. This is the best thing I can come up with."

Anthony Roberson will be activated for Friday's game.
