Rafer Alston is expected to join the Los Angeles D-Fenders of the D-League.
Marc Stein reported about one week ago that Alston could join the D-League, and now it appears the veteran is ready to make the move. Alson last played in the NBA during the 2009-10 season with the Miami Heat and New Jersey Nets, averaging 8.2 points and 3.4 assists.

ESPN's Marc Stein reports that Rafer Alston could join the D-League as early as Friday.
The 35-year-old is hoping to make it back to the NBA, but if he does so, it will likely be as a reserve. Alston last played in the NBA in 2009-10, averaging 8.2 points and 3.4 assists in 52 games for New Jersey and Miami combined.

Rafer Alston is hoping to resume his NBA career.
Alston spent part of last season playing in China, but left for the U.S. to attend a funeral, at which point the team asked him not to return. The 35-year-old might still have enough left to help a team as a backup point guard, but it's hard to envision him landing in a situation where he has significant value.

Rafer Alston is being sued for clubbing another man on the head with a beer bottle after an incident between the two at a strip club.
The former NBA player was playing in China last season, but after returning to the United States for a funeral, the team asked him not to return. Alson, now 35, is accused of attacking Erick Franceschini, 32, in a fight during July of 2010. It's odd that the suit is being filed a year after the incident went down, but it's just another reminder that Alston's days in the NBA are likely over.
