Trevor Booker’s leg is improving

Found November 29, 2011 on Washington Post:
PLAYERS: Trevor Booker
TEAMS: Washington Wizards
Trevor Booker’s stint in Israel came to abrupt end before he was even able to play a regular season game for Bnei HaSahron because of bruised right quadriceps. Booker returned to the United States to rehabilitate the injury with trainer Tim Martin in Houston. Booker said three weeks ago that he selfishly wanted the lockout to last a little longer so that he would be prepared for training camp.

In case you stopped paying attention after the NBA locked out its players on July 1, you might not realize that John Wall was pretty busy this extended offseason.

Box Seats blogger Lee Friedman offers his opinion on how the NBA’s new CBA could affect the Wizards. Among other observations, Friedman says: It’s ironic that the amnesty clause included in the new CBA would have been of more use to the team three years ago (and $60 million worth of grotto-building by Gilbert Arenas). The clause allows teams to erase one contract from their...
