With Ronald 'Flip' Murray and Vitaly Potapenko likely to be activated for the game Saturday against the Boston Celtics in Seattle, the Supersonics have some decisions to make on the futures of Damien Wilkins and Mateen Cleaves.
Frank Hughes of the Tacoma News Tribune writes that coach Nate McMillan prefers to keep both players, praising their work ethics, but admits that no discussions have taken place with management and the team may instead opt to waive either one or both.
?They work hard. I like what they bring, I like the spirit. They have been good to us,? McMillan said.
?Sometimes that is needed on teams. You get injuries, you have to pick both of those guys up, but it has become a family atmosphere. I like having them around. They understand their roles, and you would feel like you are missing someone.?
