Yeah, so much for those sleeper picks for Washington to make the playoffs. They'll be 9th or 10th, but I don't see them making it.

WASHINGTON -- Washington Wizards point guard Steve Blake will miss the first month of the season after injuring his ankle in a pickup game.

Blake underwent surgery Wednesday to remove a chipped bone from his right ankle and is expected to miss 10-to-12 weeks, which would rule him out of the first 13 games of the regular season.

"It is an uncommon injury, but we expect Steve to make a full recovery," president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld said.

As a rookie last season, Blake played in 75 games, started 14 and averaged 5.9 points and 2.8 assists. He was a second-round draft pick after leaving Maryland as the school's all-time leader in assists.

Moochie'd look nice in Wizard uni.
