OREM, Utah, Jan. 23, 2008 – The Utah Flash have reacquired guard Garry Hill-Thomas and waived guard Aleksandar Ugrinoski, Flash general manager David Fredman announced today.

Hill-Thomas was Utah’s ninth-round selection in the 2007 D-League Draft and was the last player waived coming out of training camp. At 6-4, 200-pounds, Hill-Thomas played collegiately at the University of Nevada where he averaged 10.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in 124 career games.

An Oakland, Calif. native, Hill-Thomas will begin his second stint in the D-League, having averaged 13.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 14 games for the Roanoke (Va.) Dazzle in 2004-05. He also played professionally in New Zealand, averaging 25.4 points and 4.3 rebounds in 29 games for Taranaki in 2006 and 2007.

Ugrinoski played in 16 games for the Flash before fracturing a bone in his right hand during a practice session. The Croatia native averaged 8.8 minutes, 2.3 points and 0.4 rebounds. The D-League has no injured or inactive list, but the Flash will have first rights to Ugrinoski when he is ready to play again.

Hill-Thomas is expected to be in uniform when the Flash is host to Sioux Falls at the McKay Events Center on Friday at 7 p.m. He will wear jersey No. 15.
