WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The injury-depleted Washington Wizards will be without Mike James for the next four to five weeks after the veteran reserve guard broke a finger on his left hand, the team said on Monday.

James, who has played in only one game this season, fractured the fourth metacarpal on his hand during practice on Saturday.

The Wizards, who have already lost Antawn Jamison, Mike Miller and Javaris Crittenton to injuries, are 2-5 this season and have lose their last four games.
