There's never a good time to have an injury setback. But the timing for some injury setbacks is better than others. Unfortunately, the news that Alan Anderson had to have a second ankle surgery on Tuesday -- after missing all of training camp and the preseason -- does not fall in the "better than others" category.
First, it makes an already difficult injury situation all the more difficult. The Wizards are already dealing with injuries to other players at his position. Jared Dudley (back), Garrett Temple (hamstring), and Martell Webster (hip) have all missed time during the preseason.
