Flash cut 5; Spurs' Parker sits out

The Utah Flash waived Alain LaRoche, Travis Holmes, Kevin Goffney, and Joe Darger from the 2009-10 training camp roster. James Lang, who played summer-league ball for the Jazz, was also waived for medical reasons.

The Flash training camp roster is now set at 12. The team will play a pre-season game against the Idaho Stampede on Monday in Burley, Idaho, at 7 p.m.

PARKER SITS OUT GAME: Tony Parker sat out San Antonio's game against Dallas on Wednesday night after aggravating his sprained left ankle, and the Spurs also lost guard Manu Ginobili in the first quarter with a strained left groin.

Parker rolled the ankle in a game at Portland on Nov. 6 and sat out the next two games. Parker was back in the lineup Saturday night in a 101-98 loss to Oklahoma City, scoring 17 points in 32 minutes.

Coach Gregg Popovich said Parker had a setback against Oklahoma City.

"He hasn't been able to practice since then," Popovich said.

ARENAS WAITING FOR 1 MILLION FOLLOWERS: Gilbert Arenas is waiting for an audience.

The enigmatic NBA point guard and former blogger extraordinaire finally signed up for Twitter, but he says he won't post anything on the social networking site until he has 1 million followers.

Could be quite some time: Arenas' feed had fewer than 1,700 followers as of Wednesday night.

"Once I get a million followers, I'll do it," Arenas said after his Washington Wizards beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-91 Wednesday.

Asked why he picked that number, he said because it's "so far-fetched."

When someone pointed out to Arenas that the way people tend to accrue followers is by tweeting, he replied: "I'm trying to do the opposite."

LEBRON HURT WHILE DUNKING: LeBron James hurt his left wrist by banging it on the basket while dunking late in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 108-91 loss to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.

"I hit it pretty bad on the rim," said James, who iced his wrist in the locker room after the game. "It's like you hit your funny bone, but it's not funny at all."

He said it happened on one of his driving dunks that closed Cleveland's scoring with more than 2 minutes left.
