WIZARDS INSIDER

Crittenton out at least another month after foot surgery

Reserve point guard Javaris Crittenton revealed after practice Thursday that he had exploratory surgery last Friday on his left foot and will be out at least another month.

It was tough not to notice Crittenton, who was using crutches to walk down a hallway outside the Verizon Center practice court, his left foot carefully bandaged.

Crittenton said the surgery was to make sure there was no further damage to the foot, which he originally injured playing in the Atlanta Pro Am league in late July.

An MRI exam on Oct. 2 revealed a double bone bruise and a strained tendon and he originally expected to miss two weeks. Now, only more rest will help the third-year pro's injury heal.

MIDS INSIDER

A lot on the line when Navy

and Temple meet Saturday

Temple would seem to be the team with extra motivation heading into Saturday's game in Annapolis. The Owls came close to knocking off Navy last year, but ultimately fell in overtime, 33-27, after a series of self-inflicted wounds. . . .

For Temple, a victory on Saturday would end a four-year losing streak to the Midshipmen. It would also ensure the Owls' first non-losing regular season since 1990, and it would make them eligible to play in their first bowl game since 1979.

Both teams have five-game winning streaks. A victory over Temple on Saturday would put the Midshipmen into the Texas Bowl, and it would give them their longest winning streak since the 1979 season.
