Our thoughts are with him," said Wizards coach Eddie Jordan, who added he talked with Thomas on the eve of training camp. "He's concerned. We're all real concerned."</p> </p> Jordan said it is too early to determine Thomas' next step.</p> </p> "Everything is in the early stages, so it will be some time before we know the extent of all the medical examinations," he said. "But he's not cleared to play, so there is some concern."</p> </p> Thomas will not, however, participate in training camp, which breaks Saturday after a scrimmage.</p> </p> "He's going to have some further examinations," Jordan said. "I don't think that can be done by Saturday."</p> </p> Thomas, who missed the team's media day Monday, was unavailable for comment yesterday.</div></p> Source: Washington Times</p>
I'm not gonna worry that much until we get word on the examinations. Didn't Eddy Curry have problems like this a couple years back?</p>
