Hooped Up

All Wyclef tracks aside, Antawn Jamison will be on the shelf longer than expected as it was revealed that the All-Star forward will be sidelined for at least three to five weeks, due to a right shoulder injury.

“He’s really ahead of where we anticipated, but we’re being really conservative right now,” Coach Flip Saunders said on Friday, after the Wizards completed shootaround for their preseason finale against the Chicago Bulls. “We’re going to be patient with him. We don’t want to take any chances. We want to make sure that thing is right and fully healed.”

The season hasn’t even began and the Washington Wizards are already in the trouble, if Jamison can’t heal sooner. With the Cavaliers, Celtics and Orlando sure to lock down the first three seeds in the playoffs, no team can afford to lose ground on the fourth seed this early.
