Mike

Hall

That means he’ll have to make the team during training camp.

He was dealing with a sprained right knee and wasn’t going to see much time if he made the team.

Hall, an undrafted free agent from George Washington, needed to be helped off the court, but says he’ll be fine. Jordan said Hall, who averaged 3.8 points and 3.4 rebounds in five games, has been one of the surprises of camp. “He’s got a good chance of making our team,” Jordan said. That doesn’t translate into fantasy value, but it’s a nice story.

He probably won’t make the final roster, so he won’t be a fantasy factor this season.

Hall, who played at George Washington, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Wizards last summer but was let go prior to the start of the season. Not to raise fear in the hearts of the owners of Caron Butler, but the timing of this move is curious given the fact that Butler has missed his last two games with an undefined back injury. Butler’s status for Wednesday’s game is also in doubt, so watch for more news on Butler’s injury in the near future.

Caron Butler’s back injury is becoming a concern, as he could miss Wednesday’s game against the Heat. If Butler is shut down for an extended time period, Hayes could instantly have value. Given the fact the Wizards signed forward Mike Hall to a 10-day contract on Wednesday, it’s quite possible that the Wizards are fearing the worst with Butler’s back. This is purely speculation on our part, but owners of Butler should take a hard look at Hayes as an insurance policy.

This may be the result of Caron Butler’s persistent knee stiffness. Washington will have to either sign Hall for the remainder of the season or cut him upon the completion of this deal.

He has no fantasy value.
