Ankle injury causes exhibition DNP Claude (ankle) did not play during Sunday's exhibition game against UNLV, according to Percy Allen of The Seattle Times.

Impact Washington's 2025-26 team logged its only exhibition game without Claude, meaning he has no in-game opportunity to acclimate before the Huskies begin their regular season Nov. 6 against Denver.
