The Utah Flash recently announced that they had waived forward Bennet Davis and guard Kevin Krueger due to injury. Davis suffered a stress fracture in his right leg and is expected to miss about two months of action. Krueger has a severely sprained ankle and he will be out at least two weeks. The Flash also announced today that they have signed forward Tony Gaffney. Gaffney had been playing in Turkey this season and spent time with the Boston Celtics last season. Flash head coach Kevin Young had this to say about Gaffney:
“Tony brings a high level of energy and athleticism which will be a welcomed shot in the arm to our team,” said Head Coach Kevin Young. “He is a tenacious rebounder and great defender. We look forward to helping him get back to the NBA.”
Nothing like hanging out with the Gaffney family at Jessica and Jamal's wedding (Jess is one of Tony's three beautiful sisters). Tony is heading to Germany to play professionally with Telekom Baskets Bonn. Tony started last season in Turkey with Turk Telekom Ankara and then moved back to the States. He played in NBDL with Utah Flash averaging 10.3ppg, 6.8rpg and 2.3apg in 38 games. Best of luck Tony - the journey continues!
