Former Seton Hall star Jeremy Hazell has signed with the Phoenix Suns D-League team, the Bakersfiled Jam.
“After much discussion and thinking it through, my agent Seth Cohen and I decided to accept the offer from the Phoenix Suns’ D-League affiliate, the Bakersfield Jam, rather than return overseas at this time,” Hazell told SNY.tv . “I look forward to continuing to develop my game in the pursuit of achieving my goal and playing in the NBA.”
The 6-foot-5 Hazell scored more than 2,000 points at Seton Hall, but missed out on surpassing Terry Dehere as the program’s all-time leading scorer because he missed 13 games with a broken wrist. He was also the victim of a shooting during a robbery attempt gone bad on Christmas Day.

Knicks rookie guard Iman Shumpert will miss 2-4 weeks with an MCL sprain.

“I really don’t know how it happened,” Shumpert told ESPNNewYork.com. “I just remember being in the lane, shot going up, somebody fell into my knee. I think the initial scare was worse than it might be.”
