Lindsey Hunter expressed no bitterness about the severity of his suspension for taking a diet pill.
"It would be easy for me to point the finger and do things like that, but that's not me," said Hunter, the guard who returned to the team on Sunday. "My wife (Ivy) and I discussed that. This was a mistake. It was nothing that I was trying to do, nothing that was malicious or anything like that. It was a mistake, and throughout life you are going to make mistakes.
"I accept what I did and I am not going to point my fingers or say anything negative."
Hunter has been away from the team for 18 days. He said he worked out twice a day and thought his overall conditioning was good.
"I tried to keep in some kind of condition but there's nothing you can do to account for game shape," he said. "I am not going to go out there and kill myself right away."
