November 2, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors
It’s always sad when a guy who was an every day starter in the league has to fight, scratch and claw his way back in. Antoine Walker comes to mind. And now Jamaal Tinsley, who is using the D-League as a way back to the NBA.
Jamaal Tinsley hopes to return to the NBA, and he wants to use the Development League to help his efforts.
Tinsley has sent in the needed paperwork to enter Thursday’s NBA Development League draft, sources told Yahoo! Sports. Tinsley, 33, averaged 9.8 points and 6.6 assists per game through eight NBA seasons while starting 366 of 436 career regular-season games. He last played in the NBA with the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2009-10 season. The deadline to enter the D-League draft is Tuesday.
