Boone Sits Out UConn Charity Game

[pegs]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>Josh Boone was one of only three Huskies who sat out this weekend’s Jim Calhoun Classic, the UConn coach’s annual charity game. The others had their excuses: 42-year-old Cliff Robinson is retired and Ben Gordon, the Bulls’ free agent, didn’t want to risk injury while negotiating a new contract. Local newspapers did not say why Boone sat it out. There have been no reports of any Boone injury.</div>

Hm, I wonder why he sat out of this...was it because he didn't wanna risk another off-season of injury? This is mildly odd.

Marcus Williams told him he couldn't.

 

[Master Shake]

Josh_Boone_Fan kidnapped him and told him they had to play Jenga together.

 

[Kmart06]

He doesn't know how to play with out Marcus.

 

[Kid Chocolate]

because it was a charity game and they didn't want him to scare the kiddies away.

 

[nets1]

my guess is that he wants to be injury free for pre season since he believes he has a chance to be a starter. Who knows, maybe he actually working on his free throws. I think its a good move for him to focus on his game and career.

Or maybe he just had a pressing family commitment to attend.

maybe he's still pissed at Calhoun for stating (in a published interview, no less!) that he didn't think Boone was ready to be a pro.
