Wizards' Center Misses Start of Camp
posted 12:57 pm Tue October 02, 2007 - WASHINGTON
Washington Wizards center Etan Thomas missed the start of training camp Tuesday because a cardiac test showed an irregularity during a routine checkup.
Thomas will receive more tests before his status is determined.
Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said last week that Thomas would compete in preseason with Brendan Haywood for a spot in the starting lineup.
Thomas, 29, averaged 6.1 points and 5.8 rebounds last season, his sixth in the NBA, all with Washington.
