Will Barton Remains Out Saturday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Will Barton (foot) is forced to sit out a second consecutive game Saturday versus the Clippers. The veteran is nursing a sore left foot.

Monte Morris WIll Miss Saturday's Game

Washington Wizards point guard Monte Morris (groin) has been ruled out of Saturday's matchup against the Clippers. He is dealing with left groin soreness, and unfortunately for him, the game comes too soon for Morris to be ready to play. The 27-year-old has recently enjoyed a good run of form, with Bradley Beal's (hamstring) absence […]

Will Barton Questionable Against Pacers On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Will Barton (foot) is in doubt for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers as he deals with left foot soreness.

Kristaps Porzingis Could Sit On Friday

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) is in line to miss his sixth game in a row due to right ankle soreness.
