After scoring two points with three rebounds in the Wizards¡¯ 111-106 overtime loss to Brooklyn in the preseason opener, the 6-foot-9 Mensah Bonsu didn¡¯t receive any playing time in Brazil. But Coach Randy Wittman said he might get a chance to see more minutes on Tuesday when the Wizards host the two-time defending champion Miami Heat at Verizon Center because starting big man Nene will not be available after staying in his native Brazil to attend to a ¡°personal matter.¡± Wittman said Nene should be back in uniform on Thursday, when the team travels to Baltimore to play the New York Knicks.

There is Jadeveon Clowney, whom Hoge calls the Man With ¡°A-TROC-ious Fundamentals!¡± He is an Anatomical Wonder: a 6-foot-5 266-pound defensive end who can pick up tennis balls while backpedaling and leap seven sandbags in one bound! At the NFL combine he did everything but lie on a bed of spikes while a concrete block was broken on his chest with a sledgehammer, and then get up and play Yankee Doodle on his teeth with two axes. Most marvelous of all, he appears dead until shocked with money, and then comes suddenly alive! Sally Jenkins is a sports columnist for The Washington Post. View Archive
