Washington's Michael Jordan is out of Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Jordan scored only 11 points in Monday's loss to Houston and revealed after the game to that he has another fluid buildup in his right knee. He said he would probably have it drained and would miss the game at the Palace, only the second game he has missed this season.

"I am 39," Jordan, whose birthday was Sunday, told the Associated Press. "And I've taken my body through a lot. It sends me signals, and I got to listen. I can't go against it."

Jordan has suffered from tendinitis in the knee all season and missed a game at San Antonio on Dec. 4. The injury was aggravated when he banged knees with teammate Eton Thomas in a game against Sacramento before the All-Star break, but Jordan didn't feel the effects until this weekend.
