NEW ORLEANS (AP) _ Jamal Mashburn was placed on the injured list Tuesday by the New Orleans Hornets, who also said P.J. Brown will miss two games with a sprained left ankle.

Mashburn has been out most of the season with right knee problems. He missed the first 44 games after injuring the knee at training camp. He came back just before the All Star break _ playing in 19 games, averaging 20.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game _ before swelling in the knee sidelined him March 8.

Brown sprained his ankle in the first quarter of Monday night's game against Golden State. He will miss Tuesday night's game at Miami and Wednesday's home game against Philadelphia.
