FROM WIRE REPORTS WASHINGTON (AP) -Michael Jordan will miss the Washington Wizards' game at San Antonio on Tuesday because of a knee injury. A statement by the Wizards said Jordan will not be in uniform and will be listed as "day-to-day with inflammation in his right knee." The Wizards' four-game road trip starts against the Spurs, followed by a Thursday game at Houston. "My body is sending me messages, and I need to listen," Jordan said. "I hope to be ready to play on Thursday." Jordan had fluid drained from the knee Monday morning, but the statement said an MRI revealed "no acute injury and no surgery necessary.

Jordan last missed an NBA game because of injury on March 5, 1993, also against San Antonio, when he was hospitalized with a foot infection. Jordan hyperextended the knee during a preseason game, and this was the second time he has had fluid drained from it He has been bothered by soreness and swelling in the knee on top of the tendinitis he has suffered in both knees since he resumed workouts earlier this year. The MRI apparently showed no ligament or cartilage damage, which would have sidelined Jordan much longpr.
