Believe it or not, there's a way Washington could have lost even more games due to injury this season than they already have.

Gary Neal, who the Wizards released in early March after missing a month of playing time, apparently suffered the injury that undid his season in December according to ESPN's Marc Stein:

ESPN sources say sharpshooter Gary Neal is on track to start resuming basketball activities in June after undergoing surgery this week to repair a torn hip labrum suffered in December with Washington.

As CSN Mid-Atlantic's Ben Standing notes, Gary Neal continued to perform well in January after suffering the injury, but his performance dropped off in the final few games he played before he was sent to the inactive list.
