"Coach Jordan and I met with Kwame this morning," said Grunfeld.  "The three of us felt it was best for both the Wizards organization and Kwame that he no longer participate in the remainder of the playoffs.  The team will move forward in our participation in the playoffs, and we will have no further comment regarding this issue.  We are moving forward. This is an exciting time for both the team and Washington, D.C."
