Another Fin Rumor
Jamal Mashburn is coming back to a Hornets nest tomorrow, his first day of practice this season. Out since late October following arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, he didn't exactly ingratiate himself with his teammates by staying away during his entire rehab. He opted to work on his knee in Miami, where he still lives. Some teammates were miffed that when the Hornets played in Miami earlier this season, Mashburn didn't attend the game.
Just in case he's less than 100% when he returns to action, the Hornets, who have cooled considerably after a 17-7 start, are interested in acquiring a slasher. Michael Finley is one name being mentioned, but the Mavs think he's far too valuable as a leader to move.
