On December 10, the Bucks came to Detroit for their first game against the Pistons this season.
Interestingly, Latrell Sprewell, who was suspended for a year due to the brawl at The Palace of Auburn Hills, had his suspension lifted not long ago, but only made his official return today.
In his return, Sprewell lost one thing—his starting position.
In the NBA, let alone a year, even a month's absence can lead to many changes.
Now, the Bucks have replaced Sprewell with Raja Bell and heavily fostered the growth of Kevin Martin, who is a strong contender for the Most Improved Player of the Year award.
For a former star, losing a starting spot is certainly hard to stomach, but Sprewell has no reason to be dissatisfied.
He received a hefty contract for retirement, which was enough consolation for him to accept any adversity.
