Blaylock demoted for skipping practice



SAN ANTONIO -- Golden State guard Mookie Blaylock was stripped of his captaincy Monday after skipping practice to allegedly play golf.

Antawn Jamison took Blaylock's place as captain after coach Dave Cowens demoted Blaylock, Warriors spokesman Raymond Ridder said.

Blaylock, who missed Sunday's practice, did not start Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. He entered the game late in the first quarter.

Blaylock had started 34 games this season, averaging 10.9 points per game.
