Bobcats pick up third-year option for center Ajinca
CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Charlotte Bobcats are picking up the third-year, $1.22 million option on the contract of center Alexis Ajinca for the 2010-11 season.
The move announced Thursday comes two days before the deadline. The Bobcats wavered on Ajinca's future as he has failed to fit into Charlotte's rotation.
A native of France, the 7-foot Ajinca was the 20th pick in the 2008 draft. He played in only 31 games last season and averaged 2.3 points. Bobcats coach Larry Brown then criticized his play and effort when he watched him try out for the French national team last summer.
Ajinca had four points in 10 minutes of Charlotte's 92-59 season-opening loss to Boston on Wednesday.
