"Azubuike returned to practice Wednesday and said he believes he finally is on the verge of impressing the coaching staff enough to get him back on the court for a game. He may get his chance now that Shawne Williams likely will be suspended for a fight with the Hawks' Marvin Williams late in the game. Both players were ejected."
"Azubuike would be a logical suspension replacement for Williams, though the rehab on his knee, on which he had patellar-tendon surgery, has been filled with stops and starts. He returned to scrimmages in mid-November, then shut it down again in December as he worked on his gait. Azubuike simply was not explosive enough in scrimmages for D'Antoni to consider playing him."
Azubuike returning can only help this team in the long run, especially with Wilson Chandler's recent slump and Shawne William's probable suspension. He can be a spark off the bench with his deadly outside shooting and his defense can't be worse than Bill Walker's. And you know Mike D'antoni loves his three point shooters so expect Azubuike to get minutes if/when he get's back from his injury.
