I still can’t decide for 100 percent certain whether G-Wiz’s fall here was staged or not.
If it was, it was executed to perfection. If it wasn’t, pray for G-Wiz’s children.
(You know, I guess it was staged. But it makes me sad not to believe our mascots. Plus he waved his arms so convincingly.)
@MrMichaelLee injury update on G Wiz? He fell off the tunnel wall behind OKC bench in 2Q and is yet to return (cc @dcsportsbog) #SoWizards

Either way, yes, this is the first thing I’ve published from Washington’s impressive Saturday night home victory over Kevin Durant and the streaking Thunder. It’s dedicated to the e-mailer who woke me up Sunday morning with a note about the Clippers fans dressed as wizards, noting my item was “dreadful” and had “nothing to do with anything.” He seemed to think I couldn’t do worse. I can, sir, I can.

In a subsequent conversation with Wizards writer Adam McGinnis, G-Wiz seemed to confirm that he’s ok.
@adammcginnis yea. I’m good. Who told you I fell?
