Center Brendan Haywood, who has missed the entire season so far with an injury to his right wrist, had a pin removed from the wrist in New York on Wednesday. Haywood was injured during training camp in October, underwent surgery and was given a four- to six-month timetable for a possible return. The next step will be to see how the wrist responds now that the pin has been removed. Haywood has consistently...

Just to put some punctuation at the end of this Cavs-Wiz game, and hopefully attract a few more outraged Clevelanders, here's DeShawn Stevenson's third-quarter interview with Comcast SportsyNet's Chris Miller. DeShawn discusses his "bean-pie" suit (which Brendan Haywood called "stuntastic"), his consecutive games streak and his feelings about LeBron James. And yeah, I asked Brendan to define "stuntastic."...

Check out the hot NBA action! I took some grief last week for calling the Wiz-Cavs playoff series the best D.C. sports moment of 2008, and indeed, maybe that was going too far. I'm chatting about my best of 2008 list at 11; submit your questions here. Even Brendan Haywood seemed skeptical last night, when I told him about my list and what was No. 1. But still, yesterday's Wiz-Cavs game, the first in...

We knew that Brendan Haywood had a strong season last year and was a big factor (along with Roger Mason Jr., Eddie Jordan, a healthy Antonio Daniels, etc.) in helping the Wizards pull out 43 wins last season, but was he really that good? I was chatting with a scout from another team last night and basically asked him that question. His response: "I don't know how many more wins because this is obviously...

Elton, you were supposed to make this easier for us. (Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images) The Washington Wizards have been a disappointment this season, but at least they have the excuse of being without Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood. The Philadelphia 76ers added Elton Brand last summer, yet they have lost three in a row - seven of nine overall - and are last in the Atlantic Division...

Here are a few quotes from Wizards players about yesterday's trade, which sent Antonio Daniels to New Orleans and brought the Hornets' Mike James and the Grizzlies' Javaris Crittenton to the Wizards. The team also released Dee Brown. Brendan Haywood: "The trade didn't surprise me because we needed something. I think it will be a good boost and I think the player swap will work out fine." Nick Young:...
