The Wizards have likely lost backup guard Randy Foye for the season due to a bone cyst and tendon damage in one of his wrists. Foye played in 70 games (38 starts) for the Wizards this season and he averaged 23.8 minutes, 10.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. He was a HUGE disappointment for the Wizards this season.
The Wizards have lost SG/SF Josh Howard for the remainder of the season as he tore his ACL in the win over the Bulls last night. Howard played in 4 games (3 starts) for the Wizards this season and he averaged 22.8 minutes, 14.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Overall this season, Howard played in 35 games (12 starts) for the Wizards and Mavericks and he averaged 26.2 minutes, 12.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. This is a big loss for the Wizards going forward.
The Wizards will be without starting shooting guard Mike Miller indefinitely with a calf injury. Miller has played in 9 games (all starts) for the Wizards this season and he is averaging 28.7 minutes, 9.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists. The Wizards will miss Miller’s all around game but they will really miss his shooting. Miller has hit 58.5% of his shots from the floor this season and a incredible 56.5% from three point range so far this year.
The Wizards have lost backup point guard Mike James for the next 4-5 weeks with a broken left ring finger. He has only played in 1 game (0 starts) for the Wizards this season and he scored 6 points, grabbed 1 rebound, dished out 3 assists and he stole the ball 1 time. The Wizards shouldn’t miss James too much as they have a lot of depth at point guard.
The Wizards will be without Mike Miller for the next 7-10 days due to a sprained left shoulder. Miller has started 5 games for the Wizards this season and he has averaged 28.8 minutes, 8.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game. The Wizards will go with Randy Foye and DeShawn Stevenson while Miller is out so they should be in good shape. Foye has played in 5 games (1 start) for the Wizards this season and he is averaging 27.0 minutes, 11.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. He will likely start while Miller is out of action at shooting guard. DeShawn Stevenson has played in 5 games (0 starts) this season for the Wizards and he is averaging 19.6 minutes, 3.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.
