"Cavs forward Antawn Jamison 's sore left knee was better, but it was still not good enough to allow him to play in Friday night's game against the Sixers in Wells Fargo Center. His status for tonight's game at Washington has not been determined.

"He still has a little soreness in there, so we're just going to take it day by day, continue to keep working on it and hopefully we'll have an idea [Saturday] if he's going to be able to play in Washington," Cavs coach Byron Scott said.

"If it was April and 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 bit more cautious with it and make sure he can get it as healthy as possible."

Friday night was the second straight game Jamison missed. If he's unable to play tonight at Washington, he would have three days before the next game Tuesday at New Jersey.

Old friends: Count Scott among those concerned as Philadelphia coach Doug Collins has battled vertigo as the result of a fall he took over Memorial Day weekend. Collins was an assistant coach at Arizona State when Scott was a sophomore. "
