News from April 15. New Jersey signed Jack Haley and placed Jayson Williams on IR with a broken right thumb. Chicago activated Toni Kukoc and placed Keith Booth on IR with a strained lower back. Michael Cage's (NJ) ironman streak has ended due to his missing last night's game due to a strained left hamstring. Cage, who had the 2nd longest active streak, had played in 736 consecutive games. The streak is the 4th longest in NBA history, behind A.C. Green's 976 (active), Randy Smith's 906, and Johnny Kerr's 844. Kudos go out to Ann and Norman Coates of North Carolina!
