<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wizards Coach Eddie Jordan didn't want to sound harsh when asked about injured forward Darius Songaila prior to Wednesday night's game at Cleveland, so he simply pointed out the obvious: Jordan has never seen Songaila in a Washington uniform, so it's hard for him to know what he's missing. Songaila, who was signed to a five-year, $23 million contract in July, underwent surgery to repair a herniated disk in his lower back yesterday and is expected to be out for at least 10 weeks. Songaila suffered the injury during this summer's world championships while playing for Lithuania and missed all of training camp and the preseason. "You don't miss something you've never had," Jordan said. "We didn't have him in camp, we didn't have him in preseason and we know what we have in Michael Ruffin as a third, alternative center. So we hope the surgery is successful and Darius comes back relatively quick, in the time frame we hope he comes back. Maybe in that second third of the season, he can help us."</div> Link
