The Washington Wizards won't lift Kwame Brown's suspension for the rest of the playoffs following an injury to Etan Thomas.

Coach Eddie Jordan said Wednesday there was no chance for a reinstatement for Brown, who was suspended a week ago for what the team described as "philosophical differences."

"Everything remains the same," Jordan said. "We're moving forward with the people that we have."

Jordan indicated that he doesn't expect Thomas to play in Thursday's Game 3 against the Miami Heat. Thomas left the second quarter of Tuesday night's 108-102 Game 2 loss with an abdominal strain, the same injury that cost him 32 games at the start of the season.

"It's pretty sore. It hurts a lot. It's definitely on the same level" as the earlier injury, Thomas said. "But it's the playoffs."
