Sprewell Rejoins the Knicks

Perhaps ending a very public dispute, Latrell Sprewell returned to the New York Knicks on Wednesday, two days after criticizing management for its handling of his injury-related $250,000 fine and one-game suspension.

The Knicks had ordered Sprewell to stay away from the team indefinitely because he failed to promptly inform club officials of a broken hand.
