The number keeps going up. Caron Butler, Antonio Daniels, DeShawn Stevenson, Gilbert Arenas and Etan Thomas all missed practice today.
Jordan expects Butler to miss a seventh straight game with that strained left hip flexor. He said Daniels (bone spurs) is more likely for tomorrow night than is Stevenson (knee), but that he wouldn't be surprised if Stevenson did play because "he's a warrior" and hasn't missed a start in 135 regular season games for the Wizards.
Arenas (knee surgery) took the court after practice and took on rookies Nick Young and Oleksiy Pecherov in a three-way rotating game of one-one-one (which Young proudly won). But the Wizards' leading scorer continues a cautious approach in his return to action.
Thomas (heart surgery) missed his second straight practice after taking the court Monday, but experienced soreness in his sternum after taking part in contact drills.
