New Zealand's only NBA basketballer Sean Marks has dismissed a suggestion he could make it back onto the court.

After 11 seasons playing, Marks will this year work in the San Antonio Spurs front office working with the coaching and player personel staff.

Just a couple of days out from the start of the new NBA season, the Spurs are still short of an experienced big man, but the 7-foot, 36-year-old Marks says don't even suggest it, he'd never be able to get back into game shape.
