Ruled out for Saturday Middleton (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Impact Middleton exited Thursday's loss to the Pacers due to right knee soreness after playing only 14 minutes. Head coach Brian Keefe said Thursday that the veteran forward is scheduled to get an MRI, per Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network. If all goes well with the MRI, Middleton's next chance to play will come Monday against the Heat.

Scheduled for MRI Middleton (knee) is scheduled to get an MRI after leaving Thursday's game against the Pacers, head coach Brian Keefe told Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network.

Impact Middleton finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 14 minutes before exiting the game in what turned out to be a blowout loss for the Wizards. The result of the MRI will determine whether Middleton has to spend time on the sidelines or not, but the Wizards are likely to be cautious with the veteran wing since they're already eliminated from playoff contention.

Impact The Wizards faced a large deficit at halftime, so Middleton was unlikely to see much playing time in the final two quarters even if he hadn't picked up the knee injury. Justin Champagnie will be a candidate for a significant uptick in playing time with both Middleton and Anthony Gill (hip) ruled out for the rest of Thursday's matchup.

Sitting out Wednesday Middleton (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact The Wizards will keep Middleton out of action for the first half of their back-to-back set Wednesday, but the veteran forward should rejoin the lineup Thursday against the Pacers. Justin Champagnie figures to be the most likely candidate to replace Middleton in the first unit against the 76ers, with the former averaging 11.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks in 29.4 minutes over 20 games as a starter this season.

Muted effort in return Middleton racked up nine points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 112-104 loss to Toronto.

Impact Middleton slid straight back into the starting lineup, returning after missing the previous game as part of his injury-management plan. The veteran is an odd fit in Washington, making his long-term future questionable, to say the least. For now, it appears as though he will serve as an experienced leader any time he is on the floor. The Wizards have their eyes firmly set on the draft lottery, meaning Middleton will almost certainly continue to miss games moving forward.

Plays just 11 minutes in loss Middleton totaled four points (2-3 FG) and three rebounds in 11 minutes during Monday's 112-97 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Middleton and Jordan Poole were pulled at halftime of this game despite the fact that the team was already shorthanded. That allowed players such as AJ Johnson and Jaylen Martin to see extended run, and they made the most of their opportunity. The Wizards don't have much to play for in the final stretch, so Middleton could be a headache to roster in fantasy formats at times.
