Josh Howard out with torn ACL

Story

Howard, who was just acquired from Dallas in a seven-player trade, injured his left knee in the team's victory over the Bulls on Monday night. Howard collided with Chicago's Flip Murray while trying to catch an outlet pass with 4:23 left in the first quarter. He fell to the floor and had to be helped off.

The Wizards can't catch a break this year.

The Al Thornton era begins now.

Ouch. That really sucks. I was having high hopes that the Wiz would finish the season strong with their new-look side.

[Lamrock]

Why would they? They have only one good player. They're tanking anyway.

Well, strong as in positive. They can field a team that can come out and play basketball.

The Mavs did everything right.

The Mavs did everything right.

It's a sad truth.

[Lamrock]

I admire the Mavs for staying competitive for so long without rebuilding. Having an owner with deep pockets helps though.

Unless they own the Knicks.
