News from February 26.

The LA Clippers signed Jeff McInnis to a 10-day contract, signed Pete
Chilcutt to a 2nd 10-day contract, and placed Brian Skinner on IR with a
sprained left ankle.

Vancouver activated Obinna Ekezie and placed Bryant Reeves on IR with a
bruised bone in his right knee.

[By request, I'll be doing a league leaders list once a week (assuming I
remember it and I can access Doug's site).  These numbers are taken from
Doug Steele's NBA stats page (http://shell.rmi.net/~doug/).]
