Patrick O'Bryant heard a rumor that he might be sent to the D-League in order to record more playing time, but that now appears unlikely.

``I heard those comments through the grapevine and I think that kind of clicked with me, that I needed to go harder to stay out of the D-League,'' O'Bryant said.

``We'll probably keep him with us,'' Don Nelson said. ``That guy can be really good. I just hope I see it before I die.''
