Chris Hunter and the Golden State Warriors will be traveling to Dallas to take on Dirk and the Mavericks tonight. With the Warriors still with a very limited roster, Hunter is almost sure to see some action. I am not sure if the game will be shown on NBA TV, but check your local listings.
I believe once one of the injured/ill Warriors comes back onto the active roster, it will force them to waive Chris to get back to a roster of 15. Don Nelson has stated he wants to keep Chris on the team if possible, so we will have to wait and see. CJ Watson is the most likely to be returning the soonest, as he is currently out with a case of the Swine Flu. I have no idea if Chris has a chance at being back with the Mad Ants for opening night on Friday. We hope he sticks in the NBA obviously, but I would be lying if I said he won't be missed in Fort Wayne!
In the meantime, I have heard we are bringing back Jared Carter to get another big body on the team with Chris gone. If you recall, Carter is the 7'2 center from Kentucky who started off with us in training camp but was waived. He did not get a lot of time in at Kentucky to show what he can do, so let's see what he does with this opportunity.
I will post our final roster on Wednesday/Thursday after final cuts are made.
Still time to book your family outing for the Friday night home opener! Give me a call at (260)-469-4667 x 107 to get a group discount on ticket orders ten or more.

Thanks for the updates Mr Martz. Are you involved in cutting players ? Do you sit in coaches meetings and determine who will make the club?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I provide Mr. Potter and the Coaching staff with my team report every day. To make it easy, they have me scan it into this machine that then shreds it right afterward (Eco friendly!). Mr. Potter tells me that sends it right to their computers so they can read my important comments immediately!
ReplyDeleteThat was an extremley witty way to say I have absolutely nothing to do with the basketball side of things with the Mad Ants. Trust me, that is a good thing.
Thinking out loud.........

....How does Mikki Moore stay w/ the Warriors before Chris? Be careful Mr. Moore because the pink slip might be in your locker soon.
Hunter>Moore
....."jared Carter"... Seems we had no back up plan if Chris would get called up. Maybe shoulda drafted a big after all. Any how...Back to work.....
