Wizards Call Up Mike Hall
The Wizards are very familiar with Hall since he played right down the road from them at George Washington University for four years. He was invited to training camp this October, and was the last player to be cut. Newton says that the Wizards “know what Mike can do,” and called him a “smart” and “versatile player.” Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Butler Sidelined With Back Spasms
Butler was unable to play in Sunday's 98-94 loss at Minnesota, the first game he has missed this season, and his status is uncertain for Tuesday's game against the New Jersey Nets. "Caron is certainly a game-time decision," coach Eddie Jordan said. Butler said his back had been bothering him for a week and was aggravated when the Wizards had to take a 160-mile bus ride to Minneapolis late Saturday because of a diverted flight. "It's real tight and I am not as mobile as I want to be out there," Butler said. "If it was something I could play through, I would definitely play through it, but it got to the point where it was too hard. I want to be a hero, but I want to be a healthy one."

Mike Hall has been called up the Washington Wizards on a 10-day contract, Director of Player Personnel Milt Newton confirmed to DraftExpress today. Since the Wizards had 15 players under contract already, James Lang was cut in order to make room for the move. Newton told DraftExpress’ Jonathan Givony that the move was made to “fill some spots” and round out Washington’s roster better, as they had “too many players at the 4 and 5 positions” and “almost nothing at small forward behind Caron Butler”.
Washington Wizards All-Star forward Caron Butler remained sidelined Monday with lower back spasms, while Antawn Jamison returned to practice for the first time since injuring his knee last month.
Antawn Jamison missed his ninth straight game on Friday because of a left knee sprain -- but the fact that he joined the team on a three-game trip that continues Sunday afternoon at Minnesota, and his participation in shooting drills and other non-contact activities suggest that the team's third-leading scorer is getting closer to a return.
