At the end of 90-91 his back began to bother him and he missed some games at the end. 91-92 he had cartilage removed from the surgically repaired knee. He then got waived in 92-93, got picked up by Jersey. His relationship at the end with Washington was contentious at best. Bernard was proud to a fault and they wanted to bring in younger players.
