LINEUP SHUFFLE — With Kwame Brown out with a sprained left ankle, Wizards coach Eddie Jordan decided to go with Jerry Stackhouse in the starting lineup.
This allowed him to get Stackhouse, Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes in the lineup for the fourth time this season. Of course, with Brown out of the lineup that kind of defeated the purpose
BAXTER ACTIVATED — The Wizards acquired Lonny Baxter off waivers hoping to get a chance to look at him, and now they will get the chance.
Baxter, who was placed on the injured list March21 with a knee injury, was activated before the game. To make room for Baxter the Wizards placed Christian Laettner (5.9 points, 4.8 rebounds) on the injured list.
KIDD AILING — This was the seventh game New Jersey point guard Jason Kidd (bruised knee) missed. Just how valuable he is to the Nets is reflected in the fact that without him the Nets are 2-5.
