Antoine Walker called in sick for practice and visited the team doctor
on Saturday, the fourth consecutive day he has been absent for either a
practice or game. For Wednesday’s game at Toronto, it was a lost
passport.
 
 
 
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.
 
Also from Alonzo:
McHale said he believed Walker’s illness to be legitimate. "If a guy says he’s sick, he’s sick," McHale said.
 
Walker saw a team doctor this morning, Wittman said. “He was throwing up last night,” Wittman said.
