The Washington Wizards (7-27) are 20 games below .500 for the first time since Eddie Jordan's first season in Washington in 2003-04 -- when the team suffered because of injuries to Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes and finished 25-57. So the chances of Caron Butler or Antawn Jamison making the NBA all-star team are only slightly better than the team's non-existent playoff chances. I'd be shocked if we...

Caron Butler said in the locker room after the game that he will be getting an MRI done on his left ankle on Wednesday. The ankle, which remains painful and swollen following the initial injury in which Butler rolled it on Christmas day in Cleveland, is bruised and has a knot on the inside-lower area, just off of the ankle itself.
