McClinton Released Again

Jack McClinton's second chance didn't turn out to be much of a chance at all.

Signed by Minnesota on the eve of training camp after being cut a week earlier by the San Antonio Spurs, the former University of Miami guard was released Tuesday by the Timberwolves.

Selected at No. 51 in the second round of last June's NBA Draft by San Antonio, McClinton requested his release from the Spurs when it became apparent the team was looking for veteran depth.

But after being held out of the Timberwolves' exhibition opener, McClinton was released along with guard Alonzo Gee, reducing Minnesota's roster to 16, one above the regular-season maximum.
