Jamison hurts knee in preseason opener
Basketball Betting Lines
10/08/2008 -
Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington Wizards forward Antawn Jamison
strained his right knee in the first quarter of Tuesday's preseason opener
against the Dallas Mavericks.
Jamison was on the defensive side trying to guard Dirk Nowitzki when his knee
buckled. Jamison was then helped off the court to the locker room and missed
the rest of the game, but an X-ray revealed it was just a strain.
Jamison will likely undergo an MRI exam when the team returns to the nation's
capital.
A two-time All-Star, Jamison averaged 21.4 points and 10.2 rebounds in 79
contests last season. He recorded a career-high 44 double-doubles in 2007-08
and was one of only five players in the league to average at least 20 points
and 10 rebounds per game.
During the offseason, Jamison re-upped with the Wizards in a four-year
extension worth $50 million.
Over 10 seasons in the NBA, including stints with Golden State and Dallas, he
has appeared in 717 games and has averaged 19.6 points and 7.9 rebounds.
The Wizards are already without guard Gilbert Arenas likely for the next
several months because of a knee injury. Also, center Brendan Haywood is
slated to have his sprained right wrist examined on Wednesday. Haywood was
hurt in training camp last week and sat out Tuesday's game.
