Duckworth Tries to Restart Career
Center Kevin Duckworth, voted the NBA’s most improved player in 1988, is trying to get his career back on track with the Clippers.
Duckworth, waived by the Milwaukee Bucks after playing in only eight games last season, signed a one-year contract last week for the NBA minimum of $247,000.
“I’m not out to try to prove anything to nobody,” Duckworth said. “I’m not out to try to make the all-star team next year. I just want to try to get back on the right track. I look at the last couple years and it really wasn’t any career at all because I didn’t do nothing.”
