Josh Boone was sitting in street clothes Wednesday and it didn't sit well with the 6'-10" big man who had already missed 12 games due to a bad ankle. Boone who is cleared to play said he was surprised at the decision. He had hoped to play a reserve role not be nailed to the bench. Lawrence Frank called it a "temporary situation" before the game. With Stromile Swift hurting his own ankle, it's likely to be reversed.
