Ruh-roh. Not long after news leaked out that Wizards starting center Brendan Haywood might be lost for 4-6 months, team captain Antawn Jamison went down with a knee injury in Dallas midway through the first quarter of last night’s preseason opener. The team is officially calling it a “sprained knee” but on TV it looked much worse than that. The CSN broadcast cut to a nattily dressed Agent Zero on the Wizards bench and he looked like he was about to lose his lunch. Not good. Jamison is scheduled to undergo an MRI today, but he thinks he will be OK. “It was a scary moment, and it hurt really bad at first,” Jamison told the Post. “But once I got back [to the locker room] and got some ice on it, I actually don’t feel any pain right now, so that’s a good sign. We’ll have to wait and see what the MRI says, but I think I’m going to be fine.”

Lets not forget that our beloved, little known Agent Zero himself has knee troubles, and you’re looking at 60 percent of the team’s projected starting lineup beginning the season on the inactive list. Again, not good.

Nick Young (sore right knee) and Juan Dixon (sore left calf) sat out last nights 108-82 drubbing, but their injuries are nothing serious.

Preseason injuries in football are not uncommon, but when is the last time you heard of an NBA team losing 60 percent of its starting lineup before the end of the first preseason game? Perhaps the team should place Caron Butler in a big plastic bubble until Oct. 29.
