Malik Hairston to be cut by Siena?

Former Spur Malik Hairston is undergoing tests to assess the seriousness of a back injury that may have occurred while he was still a member of the Spurs. If the back injury is deemed long term, Hairston’s contract with Siena could be voided. In the interim, Siena plans to replace Hairston with David Moss.

Hairston’s 2009-10 season with the Spurs ended prematurely because of an ankle injury. He was also absent from the Spurs summer league team, and it was believed that it was in part because of the same ankle injury. Who knows if the Spurs had some knowledge of this back injury.

If Hairston’s Italian career is short-lived, it’s difficult to say what interest he or the Spurs would have in a reunion.
