Ben Wallace suited up for Tuesday's game in Washington, but he doesn't know if his career is coming down to the final six games.

Wallace is under contract through next season. "I'd definitely like to honor (the contract)," Wallace said. "But I have to do what's best for me as far as my body.

"There's no use in going out there, hurting myself," he said. "I'm not getting any younger. My hair doesn't turn gray, it turns white (laughs)."

With a possible lockout next season, Wallace wouldn't be surprised if he chose to walk away.
