Not so fast, Stack.

Two days after Jerry Stackhouse unilaterally declared himself out for the season, the Washington Wizards had him examined Monday and determined he wasn't even an immediate candidate for the injured list.

Stackhouse was found to have tendinitis in both ankles, something many NBA players have to some degree, and that there were no new problems with his surgically repaired right knee. Stackhouse did not play Monday night against New Orleans, and he will undergo therapy over the next few days.

"There's no structural damage," general manager Ernie Grunfeld said. "He's not going to do any harm to his situation, but he does have inflammation and some pain right now, some soreness. We want to make sure everything calms down, and we'll go from there."

Grunfeld said there was no timetable for Stackhouse's return, but he added that the team will take Stackhouse's word on how he's feeling, which does leave an opening for Stackhouse to sit out the remaining 24 games.

"Our main concern is to make sure that he's feeling good, and that he's able to get out there," Grunfeld said.
