DECEMBER 14, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Kristaps Porzingis - Ruled out Wednesday Porzingis (back) will not play Wednesday at Denver.
Impact Neither Porzingis nor Bradley Beal (hamstring) will be available for Washington, though Monte Morris (groin) has been cleared to return to the lineup. This will be only the second absence of the season for Porzingis, who's notoriously missed significant time throughout his NBA career. Over his previous four seasons, Porzinigis appeared in only 51, 43, 57 and 48 games, respectively. He'll have the benefit of a pair of off days Thursday and Friday before potentially getting back on the floor Saturday at the Clippers.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Monte Morris - Good to go Wednesday Morris (groin) is available for Wednesday's matchup in Denver.
Impact Morris missed back-to-back games due to a groin injury and was deemed questionable for Wednesday, but he'll ultimately be available and figures to slide back into his usual starting point guard role. Across 23 appearances (all starts), the sixth-year guard is averaging 9.4 points, 5.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Unavailable Wednesday Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Beal continues to deal with a hamstring strain and will be sidelined for a fifth consecutive game. Corey Kispert, Will Barton and Jordan Goodwin should continue to see increased playing time in Beal's absence. Washington will also be without Kristaps Porzingis (back) on Wednesday.

NBA Stock Watch: Joel Embiid is asserting his dominance
Monte Morris - Questionable Wednesday Morris (groin) is questionable Wednesday against Denver.
Impact Morris will have an opportunity to return to the floor after missing the team's past two games with a groin injury. However, if that's not the case Wednesday, Jordan Goodwin will presumably garner a third straight start.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Gill - Questionable Wednesday Gill is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a left heel contusion.
Impact Gill was also deemed questionable Monday before ultimately playing due to his heel injury. Gill's next chance to play will be Saturday's game versus the Clippers if he's ruled out against Denver.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Questionable Wednesday Porzingis (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver.
Impact Porzingis left Monday's game versus the Nets early after suffering a back injury. The center hasn't missed a matchup since Nov. 10 against Dallas. However, if Porzingis is sidelined Wednesday, Daniel Gafford and Taj Gibson are candidates to see increased run versus the Nuggets.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Questionable Wednesday Beal (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver.
Impact Beal will have a chance at returning to the court after missing the past four games with a lingering hamstring strain. The Florida product hasn't played since suffering the injury Dec. 4 against the Lakers. Once Beal does return, Corey Kispert will presumably return to the bench.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Deemed day-to-day Porzingis is considered day-to-day with back tightness, Steven Shoemaker of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Porzingis left Monday's loss to Brooklyn after experiencing back stiffness and will be evaluated daily. If the talented big man misses Wednesday's matchup against the Clippers, more minutes will be available for Daniel Gafford, Taj Gibson and Anthony Gill.

Daniel Gafford - Double-double off bench Monday Gafford finished with 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-4 FT) and 10 rebounds over 20 minutes during Monday's 112-100 loss to Brooklyn.
Impact The double-double was Gafford's third of the season. The fourth-year center has scored in double digits in four of the last six games, posting 9.3 points, 6.0 boards and 1.8 blocks in 18.8 minutes a night over that stretch. With Kristaps Porzingis exiting Monday's contest early due to back tightness, Gafford could see his role increase even more in the short term.
DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will Barton - Drops season-high 22 in return Barton (foot) provided 22 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists in 33 minutes off the bench during Monday's 112-100 loss to Brooklyn.
Impact The veteran wing missed the past two games with a foot injury, but Barton looked 100 percent healthy Monday as he led the Wizards in scoring and saw his biggest workload since late October. Barton's 22 points were a season high, but he'd scored in double digits only once in his prior 13 games, as the former Nugget has struggled to get comfortable in Washington.
DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Keeps rolling in Monday's loss Kuzma posted 20 points (8-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 112-100 loss to the Nets.
Impact The Wizards couldn't keep up with Kevin Durant and company without Bradley Beal (hamstring) in the lineup, but Kuzma still put together another strong performance. The 27-year-old forward has scored at least 20 points in five straight games and 11 of his last 12, averaging 25.1 points, 7.2 boards, 4.1 assists and 3.1 threes over the latter stretch.
