There’s reason to speculate he might be sick of something else, too. Walker wants a buyout of his contract completed before tonight’s deadline that would make him eligible to catch on with a team bound for the playoffs. But at this point it’s unlikely that a buyout will be reached.

McHale said he believed Walker’s illness to be legitimate. "If a guy says he’s sick, he’s sick," McHale said.
