Wizards forward Caron Butler bruised his knee in the team's loss to the Hawks on Friday night.

He suffered the injury diving for a loss ball in the second quarter and didn't return to the game.

His status for Saturday night's game against the Nets is in doubt.

"Hopefully, he bounces back quickly, man," center Brendan Haywood told the Washington Times. "Sometimes it's just frustrating. It feels like we're cursed."
