Will we ever see Dikembe play again?

Apparently, Rick has felt the need to banish him to the bench. Oddly enough, the two things we've needed the most with Yao out, size and defense, are the two things the old man is best at. And yet he still continues to be used as a towelboy. I miss him. Rick despises everything that he stands for, apparently, and as always, refuses to admit that he's wrong, and his rotations suck.

So, has Mutombo waved his last finger, or will Rick see the error of his ways, and put his differences with the man aside?

I think its Mt Mutombo's conditioning. Remember this guy hasn't touched a basketball in half a year prior to his signing with the rox. I hope we'll get to see the finger wag in the next week.

I think only reason he hasnt played in the last 2 games was that

Detroit = Small and quick
Knicks = A Running team

The reason why Motumbo has seen so little actionl has been explained all over the board and Fran and Jonathan Blogs and notes on Chron and Rockets sites.
