Carlesimo promised, Ridnour got his first meaningful playing time after his broken nose fully healed and he no longer needed to wear a protective mask.</p> </p> Delonte West will continue to be the first point guard off the bench, and Earl Watson now replaces Ridnour in playing a limited role off the bench, Carlesimo said. -- <font color="#000000">Tacoma News Tribune</font></p></div></div>
