August 24, 2008 Washington forward Darius Songaila pulled out of the Olympics because of a sore back, according to the Washington Post. He began experiencing discomfort while training with the Lithuanian team last month, only a few days before it embarked for China.
May 2, 2008 The NBA suspended Darius Songaila for Game 6 of the series against the Cavs for hitting LeBron James in the face in Game 5, according to the AP. "We got tangled up, my arm got caught inside of his, and when he tried to free himself, it was just an accident. He lifted my arm and it him right in the face. It was caused by him," Songaila. "It wasn't my intention or anything like that. If anything, it was an accident."
January 3, 2008 Wizards forward Darius Songaila did not play on Wednesday against Detroit due to a sore Achilles heel, the AP reported.
