Injury Report — It might have been easier for this preview to list the Non-Injury Report, i.e., who is actually available! I can’t remember when I last saw such a long injury list, even on the tanking Wizards… The Wizards will have essentially a G-League team roll out tomorrow.
Historic losing streak — Thankfully, there is a team called the Utah Jazz. Otherwise, the Wizards would now be on a 20+ game losing streak. Thankfully, also, the season is nearing its end, so the Wizards might not break any more negative records this season. But, on the bright side, development time! Playing time for those youngsters.
Flashback: Wizards defeat Heat… in the Beal era
Here are the highlights of the game the Wizards managed to win against the Heat, at home, and with Beal…. so much has changed since (and Kyle Lowry isn’t there anymore either…). Nostalgia!
