The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune said Sunday that despite the intensive coverage of his release by celebrity Web sites, manager Cortez Bryant told the newspaper the newly freed star wanted to be a "discreet" courtside presence. Lil Wayne himself had little to say to reporters at the game other than he was pleased to be home and planned to "live life the right way."
