WASHINGTON (AP) Wizards scoring leader Larry Hughes has a broken left wrist and will miss four to six weeks.

Hughes was hurt in the second half of last week's game against Memphis, but the injury initially was thought to be a sprain.

Hughes played two days later and scored 21 points in 45 minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers, but he left in the first quarter of Sunday's game at Cleveland.

The broken bone was revealed when Hughes was re-examined Tuesday.

``During the healing period he will be able to run and shoot, and hopefully we will have him back as soon as possible,'' general manager Ernie Grunfeld said.

The 6-foot-5 guard has started 48 of 49 games this season and leads the team with 18.7 points. He is also averaging 5.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

His injury came just as the Wizards finally got their full lineup intact. Jerry Stackhouse and Gilbert Arenas returned from long rehabilitations last week, and the Memphis game was the first time this season that Stackhouse, Arenas and Hughes played together.
