    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Wizards are looking at a couple of options with reserve power forward Michael Ruffin out of the rotation with a right mid-foot sprain, according to Coach Eddie Jordan: Use either center Calvin Booth or small forward Andray Blatche to fill in, or go with a small lineup and move a guard, such as DeShawn Stevenson, to forward. Booth and Blatche have played a combined 52 minutes this season.

    Jordan said that Ruffin could be out for two weeks, and the Wizards want to make sure that the injury is healed before he returns to the court. Ruffin injured his foot during the preseason and aggravated it during Tuesday's loss at Dallas.

    "If he feels like it's okay in a week, we might try to wait another four, five days," Jordan said. "I can unequivocally stand here and say that he's a tough guy. He's fought through it and fought through it. It's just no mild sprain."</div>

    It does?

    Since when was Ruffin an integral part of the team?
