Thompson: Baron Davis still fueled by hoops passion

SANTA CRUZ -- One question was foremost as the former Warriors star sat at the end of the bench of an NBA Development League game in street clothes Sunday. The question hovered over the festive atmosphere of Kaiser Permanente Arena as the Santa Cruz Warriors blasted Davis' Delaware 87ers 132-117.

Why is Baron Davis doing this?He has been out of the NBA since 2012, when he dislocated his right patella tendon and tore his right ACL while playing for the New York Knicks in a first-round playoff series vs. Miami. Four years later, he is attempting a comeback, with two-thirds of the season exhausted.
