According to a person who attended that charity basketball game between the 49ers and Raiders on June 17, injured 49ers receiver Derrick Hamilton wasn’t exactly running the floor and playing with the intensity of Michael Jordan. “It wasn’t ‘Hoop Dreams’ out there,” a witness said.
Still, coach Mike Nolan said he knew nothing about Hamilton playing basketball just one day after the 49ers’ off-season practice program had concluded. Hamilton was not cleared to take part in 11-on-11 drills.
“Usually if a guy is not cleared, they have a policy to keep them from doing things like a basketball game,” a 49ers spokesman said. Nolan said in the future he will make sure the club’s policy is communicated properly.
