Hamilton

The Bucks created a roster spot yesterday when they cut Anthony Goldwire.

Hamilton’s ability to play center means he could be a contributor for the Bucks. All he has to do is outplay Dan Gadzuric.

Hamilton is day-to-day.

Hamilton scored six points and grabbed eight rebounds in 21 impressive minutes Monday.

Hamilton was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix on Saturday night for tests. The Sixers decided to bring him home to undergo treatment for the next three or four days.

If doctors give him the OK, Hamilton will join the Sixers tonight in Houston.

Philadelphia is hurting in the frontcourt, and Hamilton, 28, leads the CBA in rebounding. Their ability to sign the 6-11 Hamilton, or any other big man, hinges on whether they can clear a spot on their injured list or get an IL exception from the NBA.

Hamilton was a candidate for a spot on Milwaukee’s bench. He still could be kept and placed on the injured list.

Hamilton, who missed the first month following knee surgery, can help out at power forward while Joe Smith remains limited by a hip injury.
