San Antonio’s Robinson Out Another Week

All-Star center David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs continues to be bothered by an inflamed right knee and will be out another week. Robinson already has missed San Antonio’s last two games.

He is scheduled to be evaluated again on Wednesday. Robinson had to leave last Saturday’s game against Phoenix in the first half due to soreness in the knee and missed the entire second half as the Spurs fell to the Suns, 94-81.

The 32-year-old Robinson, selected to this year’s All-Star Game as a reserve, is averaging 22.7 points and 11.0 rebounds this season.

The Philadelphia 76ers waived Herb Williams and Ronnie Grandison, two days after acquiring them from the New York Knicks, and activated former Cal State Bakersfield standout Kebu Stewart.

The 76ers traded Terry Cummings to the Knicks on Thursday, saying they wanted to send the 15-year NBA veteran to a playoff contender.

The move also freed room under the league’s salary cap. Cummings has one year remaining on his contract.

Rony Seikaly, who refused a trade to the Utah Jazz and ended up with the New Jersey Nets, will miss at least four weeks because of a bone bruise and stress reaction in his right foot.

Seikaly, who underwent an MRI Saturday, will wear a walking cast for two weeks and will be reevaluated at that time. The injury initially was believed to be a stress fracture.

The changing of the guards between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Vancouver Grizzlies officially was completed as Doug West passed a physical.

On Thursday, West said he had no desire to play for the Grizzlies. But he changed his mind and showed up for the Vancouver-Atlanta game Friday night.
