The Washington Wizards fired Eddie Jordan as coach Monday after opening the season 1-10 without injured starters Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood. ''That's an unacceptable record, obviously,'' Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said at a news conference to introduce director of player development Ed Tapscott as interim coach. ''We had to do something. The way we're losing games was unacceptable.'' The Wizards' record matches the worst start in franchise history; the only other time the team was 1-10 was in 1966, when it was called the Baltimore Bullets. Tapscott vowed to place a strong emphasis on defense. Washington is allowing 103.5 points per game, which ranks 27th in the 30-team league. ''We've been a little sieve-like, letting people go down the lane,'' Tapscott said. ''Our philosophy will be: 'Protect the rim and the lane.' ''
BOBCATS SIGN CENTER — The Charlotte Bobcats have signed 6-foot-11 center Dwayne Jones. The move comes after the Bobcats waived forwards Andre Brown and Linton Johnson last week. Jones has played in 74 games over three seasons with Boston and Cleveland, averaging 1.3 points and 2.4 rebounds.
MAGIC GUARD HURT — Orlando Magic backup guard Keith Bogans will be out four to six weeks because of a broken thumb on his nonshooting hand. Bogans was injured during the Magic's game against Houston on Saturday. The 6-foot-5 Bogans has averaged six points in 24 minutes a game.
