WASHINGTON (AP)—The Washington Wizards said Tuesday that forward Josh Howard(notes) will miss the remainder of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Howard was injured Monday night in Washington’s win over the Chicago Bulls, only his fourth game with the Wizards since being acquired from Dallas in a seven-player trade on Feb. 13. He collided with the Bulls’ Flip Murray(notes) with 4:23 to play in the first quarter and stayed on the floor for a minute before being helped off the court by two trainers.
Howard started three games for Washington and scored 14.5 points a game to help the Wizards go 3-1 since the deal, which sent starter Caron Butler(notes) to the Mavericks.
