"Between the sophomore slump for Bub Carrington, lackluster play from veterans and the inconsistent start to Cam Whitmore's tenure in the DMV, the Wizards woes have come at the hands of several factors. However, arguably the biggest reason for the team's struggles can be linked to the fact that Washington has been plagued by an injury bug that simply just won't go away."
"Bilal Coulibaly is set to miss yet another game with a right oblique strain that is set to keep him out for the next few weeks. The injury for the team's third-year man has been disappointing as his struggles to stay on the court continue to plague his development in the DMV. In addition to Coulibaly, Washington's frontcourt will be extremely shorthanded with both Corey Kispert and Khris Midldeton set to miss action."
The Washington Wizards resume play Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers following an NBA Cup break. The team has endured a disappointing start and sits near the bottom of the standings. Contributing factors include a sophomore slump from Bub Carrington, uneven veteran production, and an inconsistent start from Cam Whitmore. The primary issue has been a persistent injury problem. Multiple players are listed out, including Bilal Coulibaly (right oblique strain), Corey Kispert (thumb fracture), Khris Middleton (right knee soreness), and Alex Sarr (adductor strain). Bilal Coulibaly is expected to miss several weeks. Head coach Brian Keefe may adjust the bench rotation.
