Jamir Watkins - Won't go Tuesday Watkins (ankle/foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Tristan Vukcevic - Not listed on injury report Vukcevic (thigh) is available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Impact Vukcevic has missed fourth consecutive matchups while on the mend from a left thigh bruise, but he'll be back in the mix Tuesday. He'd made five straight starts before suffering the injury, though he'll presumably fall back to a bench role now that Alex Sarr has returned to health.

Tre Johnson - Puts up 20 points Sunday Johnson recorded 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Sunday's 138-118 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact The rookie first-rounder is acclimating well to life alongside Trae Young in the backcourt so far, putting up at least 15 points in consecutive games. That said, the Wizards don't yet seem to be fully committed to handing Johnson big minutes, as he has averaged 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 21.6 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

Leaky Black - Notches 10 points in loss Black produced 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 138-118 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Black, who is on a two-way contract with the Wizards, continues to see more opportunities for the team due to so many injuries on the roster. Over his last four appearances, he's averaging 9.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 32.9 minutes per contest, putting him on the streaming radar in deeper formats.

Alex Sarr - Sees 18 minutes in return Sarr closed with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 18 minutes during Sunday's 138-118 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Sarr was able to return from a 10-game absence and was limited to a modest workload by design. The Wizards may continue that trend going forward, and maintenance days are likely to be part of the equation for all the key players. Whenever Sarr is active, Julian Reese will lose some upside.

Julian Reese - Not starting Sunday Reese won't start Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact With Alex Sarr (hamstring) back in action, Reese will retreat to the second unit. However, the two-way player is likely to continue seeing meaningful minutes, as Sarr will operate under a heavy minutes restriction.

Alex Sarr - Will be limited Sunday Head coach Brian Keefe said Sarr (hamstring) will play around 16-20 minutes during Sunday's game against New Orleans, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sarr is set to return from a 10-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, though he won't be rushed into an increased workload. With the second-year center on a minutes restriction, Julian Reese will likely continue to see meaningful playing time.
