Meanwhile, Antoine Walker practiced with the team for the first time
since last week. He diplomatically stated his disgust with his
situation. He said there’s “no point” to a contract buyout now that he
and the team failed to reach agreement on one by Saturday night’s

Walker said he will keep practicing hard and stay in shape as the season winds down. He said he likes his teammates and wants them to succeed. But he considers his situation unfortunate after being traded to Minnesota from Miami in October.
“It’s like a wasted year for me personally,” he said. “I didn’t want to be put in this situation. I was afraid of this coming in. It’s turned out to be a terrible situation for me. I’ve just got to keep working.”
