Haywood's Hurt Wrist Might Be Serious
DALLAS, Oct. 7 -- The Washington Wizards opened the preseason with a 108-82 loss to the Dallas Mavericks Tuesday night but that result was hardly the team's primary concern.
Center Brendan Haywood, who has been out since injuring his right wrist last Thursday, will have the wrist examined by a hand specialist in New York on Wednesday.
The injury was originally diagnosed as a sprain but Haywood, who shoots with his right hand, has continued to experience pain and discomfort in the wrist.

Jordan Satisfied With Camp, Wants Defense to Improve
Coach Eddie Jordan was generally pleased with what he saw during the Washington Wizards' training camp this past week in Richmond, but he had a few things he wanted to work on when the team returned to Verizon Center yesterday morning for its first post-camp practice.
"Coaches are never satisfied but we're going in the right direction," Jordan said following Friday's camp-closing intrasquad scrimmage in Richmond. "I thought we played hard, we played smart and we played with a lot of organization. We still need to get better defensively as far as picking people up and recognizing situations. Right now, the defense knows our offense so maybe when we get back to Verizon Center, our first practice will be going against an offense other than our own so we can play the defense we are looking for."
Oct. 4--Guard Gilbert Arenas spent most of last night's Washington Wizards scrimmage sitting on the white team's bench and then on the black team's bench.

Wizards Size Up An Oversize Roster
RICHMOND, Sept. 30 -- The Washington Wizards' roster includes three players who are listed as seven-footers and several more who range from 6 feet 9 to 6 feet 11.
What makes the situation interesting is that only the 7-0 Brendan Haywood and 6-10 Etan Thomas can be labeled as traditional centers.
The others, a mix that includes 6-9 all-star Antawn Jamison, 6-9 Darius Songaila, 6-11 Andray Blatche, 7-0 Oleksiy Pecherov and 7-0 rookie JaVale McGee, are versatile big men who can play multiple positions.
