"Antawn Jamison's left knee injury forced him to miss his first reunion game against the Washington Wizards. It just might keep him out of the second, too.

Jamison was held out of the game Friday against the 76ers in Philadelphia because of swelling in his left knee. He remains a game-time decision for tonight in Washington, where he spent 51/2 years before getting traded to the Cavaliers in February.

''The knee has gotten better, but he still has a little soreness in there,'' Cavs coach Byron Scott said. ''If it was April, the last five games of the season, and you were trying to get a different seeding for the playoffs, he could play. But right now it's still a little sore, the flexibility is not all the way there. So obviously we want to be a little more cautious with it.''

Scott didn't sound overly hopeful about Jamison's availability tonight. In a worst-case scenario, Jamison is expected to return Tuesday against the New Jersey Nets.

Jamison missed a preseason game against the Wizards with a knee ailment."
