Australian NBA rookie Thon Maker is hoping to return to training within days after spraining his wrist in his first preseason practice with Milwaukee Bucks.The 19-year-old was cleared of any serious injury to his right arm, suffered during a scrimmage in Madison, Wisconsin.He was sent back to team headquarters in Milwaukee for tests, but returned to the training camp on Friday (AEST) wearing a wrist brace.Ill be back in a few days, said Maker.(Im) just staying in it here on the sideline here with the guys.I think it happened for a reason, just so I can get better with my left hand!Coach Jason Kidd said Maker was keen to get back to work, but that his health was most important.The nice thing is he wants to be out there. Thats his mentality, hes a player, he wants to get better, he said.Hopefully the swelling goes down and he can get back here in the next couple of days.We miss his energy but his health is a big concern for us, making sure hes healthy and ready to go.Maker, born in Sudan and raised in Australia, was one of the surprise selections of the NBA Draft in June when the Bucks took him with the 10th overall pick.He is set to play alongside compatriot Matthew Dellavedova, who has signed a US$US38 million ($A53 million) four-year deal with the franchise.Dellavedova has had the opportunity to learn from two of the greatest ever point guards while in camp in Kidd and John Stockton, who was invited to lend a hand.

Kenrich Williams Pelicans Jersey . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Brad Miller called it a punch to the gut that newly acquired Matt Duffy has been anointed to replace him as the Tampa Bay Rays starting shortstop.Obviously pretty disappointing, Miller said before Tuesdays night game against Kansas City. They said him playing shortstop was our best chance to win. Ive been playing very well and I feel like Ive only gotten better.Duffy was part of a four-player trade that sent pitcher Matt Moore to San Francisco on Monday.Miller has been told that he will primarily get playing time at first base once Duffy comes back from a minor league rehab assignment for a left Achilles strain llater this month.ddddddddddddm a professional, Miller said. Im a young player and I have to do whatever they say.Miller entered Tuesday hitting .250 with 17 homers and 39 RBIs. He has made 13 errors.We talked with Brad, and he handled it like a pro, Rays manager Kevin Cash?said. Obviously theres some disappointment in there. He takes a lot of pride, a lot of passion in being a major league shortstop. We felt its best for the organization to get him over at first and allow Duffy the opportunity to play short. ' ' '
