SAN ANTONIO (AP) Devin Booker had 27 points and the Phoenix Suns maintained their hope of earning the top spot in the NBA and Western Conference with a 140-103 victory over the short-handed San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.
During his 16-year NBA career, Wallace earned the NBA s Defensive Player of the Year award four times (2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006), all with the Pistons. He was also the defensive anchor for the 2004 Goin to Work championship team. Wallace spent nine seasons with the organization, from 2002-06 and from 2009-12.
In 1,088 career games, he averaged 5.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and two blocks in 29.5 minutes per game with Washington, Orlando, Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland.
The White Hall, Alabama, native played two seasons at Cuyahoga Community College, a junior college in Cleveland, before transferring to Virginia Union, a Division II school. Wallace went undrafted in 1996 and briefly spent time in Italy before signing with the Washington Bullets, with whom he spent the first three years of this NBA career.
Spurs fans will get to celebrate Tim Duncan’s induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame with plenty of cool activities leading up to the Saturday ceremony.

so has the scourge of fire. So far in 2021, fires related to homelessness occurred at a rate of 24 a day, making up 54% of all fires the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to.
Open but empty. Only 7% of high school students
have returned to campuses in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Extensive safety measures
have failed to lure back the vast majority of families in the final weeks of school.
Recall isn’t popular. The campaign to recall Newsom has failed to gain momentum in recent months as significantly more California voters favor keeping him in office, with little support for Republican candidates,
