Marcin Gortat travels home, out at least two games

NBA, Washington Wizards, Phoenix Suns

WASHINGTON -- Wizards center Marcin Gortat has traveled home to Poland because of a family emergency and will miss at least the next two games.

Gortat missed Friday's 109-106 win over the Phoenix Suns and will be absent from Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Wizards coach Randy Wittman said he didn't know whether Gortat would miss additional time.

Washington center Nene missed his fourth game with a strained left calf. Drew Gooden is out with a right calf strain, and Kris Humphries is out with a left ankle injury.

The Wizards started center Ryan Hollins, who was signed Monday.

The Suns were without Tyson Chandler, who missed his fourth straight game because of a strained right hamstring.
