The immortal Mike James has a broken finger: “The Wizards don’t have a roster spot available to move [assistant coach Sam Cassell] over a few spots over on the bench. But yet another injury forced Cassell into point guard duty in practice on Monday, when the Wizards realized that they would be without Mike James for the next four to five weeks with a fractured left ring finger.

James said he injured himself last Saturday in practice and didn’t think it was anything serious.”
