Marcin Gortat: Remains in hospital for knee examination

Gortat (knee) is being evaluated in a Washington, D.C. hospital and is uncertain if he'll be released before Wednesday, J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

Analysis:

Gortat was sidelined from Monday's game against the Bulls with what was reported to be significant swelling in his left knee that had been bothering him since Sunday. The Wizards are now fearing that Gortat may have developed an infection in the knee, so the team promptly set him in for tests at the hospital upon returning from the trip to Chicago. While an update on Gortat's diagnosis hasn't been passed along by the Wizards yet, for the moment, his chances of playing Wednesday against the Bucks don't seem overly promising. If that's the case, Nene Hilario would likely make another start at center Wednesday.
