The Associated Press reports that Hornet?s guard Baron Davis will miss at least a month with torn cartilage in his left knee. The injury was suffered during Friday?s loss to Portland. He is scheduled for arthroscopic surgery to repair the damage.

Earlier today, the Hornets moved Davis to the injured list, signed Randy Livingston to a 10-day contract to take his place and waived Matt Bullard.

Bullard has been on the injured list all season with degenerative disk disease. Livingston comes in from the Continental Basketball Association where he was averaging 14 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds per game with the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Davis, who averaged 17 points and 7 assists for the Hornets, will have a more definite timetable for his return after the procedure is complete.

Last night was a night that Michael Jordan will remember for the rest of his life.  Going into last night's game Jordan needed just 14 points to pass Wilt Chamberlain on the All-Time scoring list, easing himself into third position where he will remain as his career draws to a close.

Jordan's feat arrived off a jump shot in the second quarter and was met by a standing ovation which lasted for over a minute by the New Orleans crowd.  Last night marked Jordan's first official game back in New Orleans since the shot that his father claimed would change his life forever against Georgetown in the 1982 NCAA Championship game.

Jordan didn't have everything his own way however, being held to only two points in the second half to finish with 18 in the game.  Jordan failed to make a trip to the free throw line.

"A milestone's a milestone," Jordan said. "I think it symbolizes the effort I've given over my career. It's something to reflect back on. I wasn't really aware of it. It wasn't something I go in thinking about. I was going in thinking about winning this game. The thing about stats to me, it defines you 10, 20 years from when you're past the game, when somebody can see you and say, 'This guy must have been good 20 years ago.' What matters to me is wins, championships, things of that nature."

It might have been Jordan's big night in an official sense, but it was the New Orleans Hornets who quickly stole the show.  According to Steve Wyche of the Washington Post it was Jamal Mashburn who held Jordan in check while scoring 24 points, handing out eight assists and grabbed seven rebounds as the Hornets cruised to a casual 103-94 victory.

"The difference in the game was transition points," Wizards Coach Doug Collins. "We knew coming in fast- breaking was going to be a big problem and they ran right at us. We couldn't stop them when we had to."

The game was not without it's fireworks either, with both Charles Oakley and PJ Brown ejected after the two brawled on the ground after a rebound attempt.

"We do what we go to," Oakley said. "You got to fight . . . that's part of leadership. Didn't nobody bleed. Things happen, the game kept going and they won. He came on my back, he tried to run to the basket, he was mouthing off a couple times before that. He came around my back, I blocked him out, he grabbed me and I got him up off me."

Jordan now trails Kareem Abdul-Jabaar and Karl Malone on the all-time scoring list, but with Malone out-scoring Jordan this season after already holding a healthy lead the player they call the greatest ever's chances of moving any higher are highly improbable.
