Caron Butler

Washington Wizards all-star forward Caron Butler has a partial tear of a labrum in his left hip, the team announced Wednesday. It is not known how long the injury will keep him out of the lineup. The team said he will be reevaluated next week.

Butler, who has missed the past 10 games and 14 games overall this season, originally suffered what was diagnosed as a strained left hip flexor during an overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Jan. 27. He sat out three games, then returned for the Feb. 3 game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He aggravated the injury two days later during a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers and has not played since.

    HA. Don't worry I heard gilbert arenas is coming back pretty soon. You'll have a player who thinks he's a super star but is just a wannabe. Good luck dealing with him putting up 30 shots and missing 25 of them! If the wizards could actually stay healthy they could be a good 4 or 5 team in the east. Trade Gilbert arenas though that team doesn't need an overrated ball hog who isnt even any good! Send him to the knicks where he belongs haha.

    good point #8
    arenas has an ego problem but in his start this year i saw some improvment .i am sure he will play better defense and pass the ball.If he play smart, he will still take the last shoot for wiz with a better %.His strength and speed will put him at the top from all PG's in NBA,he just need the brain to use every time he has the ball.What i can not stand about him is the misuse of the ball.If he made a mistake in the defensive side he will repeat it on the offensive side.if he has a conversation with officials he went out and commit another mistake.It is time for him to play a well balanced game.he should leave the extra court conversation including his blog to retired players.This game need a lot of patience for some one to perform well.He has all ablities to be a super star if he start to use his brain and if he gets well from his injury.

    With the loss of Caron Butler the Wizards really need to add a point guard because Antonio Daniels just isn't working out as a starter.They need someone who can run a team and score buckets,aka Sam Cassel.Daniels is ok as a reserve but he just can't hit open shots and he isn't a playmaker.

    if Caron Butler injury is that serious then what he needs to do is shut it down completely and that includes the playoffs and have the surgery and get ready for 08-09 season when that gets here until then that man has a serious injury to worry about and he can't risk his career to help his team make the playoffs i also think that the mistake Grunfeld made was not signing a backup point guard since roger Mason is more of a shooting guard and he can play some point this team needs a power forward like either K-mart or Elton Brand they need a power forward who is a post player also they need to get better on defense especially when teams spread them out and they need to do a better job on the closing of the three point shooters.

    Colin is one of the best all around players in the game.Too bad about his injury hope he makes it back this season my fantasy team really suffers without all he added every week.He gave Washington a true all-star performace every game something Arenas will never do.Consistancy and 100 % and most of all a team player..scoring rebounds assists steals and fg% and how about the free throw shooting.80 in a row or something like that. Oh does my team miss him.
