Eisley likely to return to Utah

SACRAMENTO - It's four days until the Suns tip it off for real, and their
in-season look is becoming more apparent after Friday's close to the
preseason.

Howard Eisley's contract buyout cleared up some roster issues, making it
appear more certain that point guard Yuta Tabuse will become the first
Japanese player on an NBA team when rosters are set Monday.

"This is sad for me because he's a good person and player," Tabuse said.
"He's a better point guard because he has experience. I learned every day
from him. Now, I have to focus on myself. I need to play hard."

While Tabuse is still wary of celebrating early, Eisley's ouster gives him a
shot at being on the active roster.

Eisley was upset that he had fallen out of the rotation, essentially
becoming a fifth-string point guard. He was owed more than $14.5 million for
the next two seasons and a guaranteed portion of a third year. Eisley agreed
to a payout of at least $10 million and is expected to sign with another
team, likely Utah, when he clears waivers Monday.
